Chronicles of Narnia

The Chronicles of Narnia present the adventures of children who play central roles in the unfolding history of the fictional realm of Narnia, a place where animals talk, magic is common, and good battles evil. Each of the books (with the exception of The Horse and His Boy) features as its protagonists children from our world who are magically transported to Narnia, where they are called upon to help the Lion Aslan handle a crisis in the world of Narnia.

In 2003 we were approached by Isis Mussenden and the wardrobe department working on the C S Lewis novel 'The Chronicles of Narnia'.

Stansborough created costume fabrics for Disney's production  of both 'The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe' and 'Prince Caspian'.
