Children's Classics Poster Set: The Magician's Nephew, The Little Match Girl & The Twits

Some stories stay with us long after childhood, and this trio brings together three very different classics that shaped generations of young readers. From the founding magic of Narnia to a quiet Victorian tragedy and the gloriously grotesque comedy of Roald Dahl, this set spans wonder, sorrow and mischief in equal measure.

Why these three belong together

Each of these books introduced young readers to big ideas wrapped in unforgettable stories: the pull of adventure, the ache of loss, and the satisfaction of justice served. Displayed together, they offer a thoughtful spread of tone and era, proof that childrens literature can be as rich and varied as anything written for adults.

The Magician's Nephew (1955)

C.S. Lewis takes readers back to the very beginning of Narnia in this prequel to his beloved Chronicles. Two children stumble into a forbidden world where ancient magic, a wicked queen and a ring of power threaten all of creation, and only a tree from beyond time can hold back the darkness. It remains a cornerstone of fantasy for young readers.

The Little Match Girl (1845)

Hans Christian Andersen's haunting fairy tale follows a poor girl on a freezing New Year's Eve, lighting her last matches for warmth. Each flame conjures a beautiful, heartbreaking vision of comfort and love, building to one final, tragic journey into the light. Few short tales carry such lasting emotional weight.

The Twits (1980)

Roald Dahl at his most deliciously wicked, The Twits introduces the most vile, smelly and hateful couple imaginable, forever playing nasty tricks on one another. When they attempt to create the world's first upside-down monkey circus, their caged monkeys plot a glorious revenge. It is Dahl's sharpest lesson in comeuppance, wrapped in riotous fun.

Styling your childrens wall

This set works beautifully in a playroom, landing or family reading nook, hung in a neat row at a height children can enjoy. For a softer, storybook feel, try the Watercolour style, or choose Modern or Modern Minimalist for a cleaner look that will grow with your child. The Square format suits a tidy, symmetrical arrangement above a bookshelf or bed. Oak or white frames keep things light and airy, while black frames add definition against pale walls. Whichever you choose, remember that buying three prints together saves you 20%, making this the perfect way to fill a wall with stories worth revisiting.
