New Narnia Hardcover Editions and Board Books Coming in 2025
After two days of teasing an announcement on Narnia’s official Facebook and Instagram accounts, HarperCollins has revealed a new wave of Chronicles of Narnia releases coming in 2025—including new hardcover editions of all seven books and two Narnia-themed board books.
A short video with the artist, Owen Richardson, was also shared on the official Facebook page.
The video included full versions of the covers (Prince Caspian did not appear):
All seven books in The Chronicles of Narnia will be re-released in hardcover on April 15, 2025, featuring brand-new cover designs. For younger readers, two new board books—World of Narnia: Animals and World of Narnia: A Counting Book—are set to release on July 29, 2025, featuring artwork by Joey Chou, who previously worked on a board book adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 2021.
Beyond Narnia, HarperCollins is also releasing a “deluxe edition” of Mere Christianity and new audiobooks of C.S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy, including a full-cast BBC audio adaptation of That Hideous Strength which will release this spring.
What do you think of the new Narnia covers? Let us know in the comments!
Oooh. Based on the graphic, will these be released in original publication order? That would be the first time in a while that HarperCollins has done that!
I love these covers! They are so full of life and energy! If I was a child I’d just be dying to pick them up and read them.
I love also how the individual colour pallettes for each book gives them their own unique style.
Ah yes, Lucy and her sword. Classic!
In all sincerity the Horse and His Boy cover is pretty epic. The Magician’s Nephew cover is also a cool concept, flying through the magic rings trying to escape Jadis.
I’m sure these will all invite new readers into Narnia.
This is so cool!! Amazing Book Covers!! I love them all. Obviously the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe cover is my favorite.
I’m more excited for those board books, Joey Chou’s style is lovely!
Honestly, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, these covers are beautiful and breathtaking, but on the other hand, they go into the common style of fantasy covers, where there is nothing extraordinary anymore, because everything is done in one style.
A sign were getting closer
This feels super Nostalgic
These look really nice! There seem to be a circle theme with the VDT and MN covers. Almost wish Aslan was featured in all of them.
