The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tells the story of the Pevensie children – Peter,

Susan, Edmund and Lucy – and their first adventures in the magical land of Narnia. The

story begins during World War II in England. Because of the bombs in London, the

children have to go and stay with their strange uncle in the country. The house he lives in

is much bigger than their home in London, with many empty rooms. There is a big old

wardrobe in

one

of

the

rooms.

While

they

are

playing

a game

of

hide

‐and

‐seek,

Lucy,

the

youngest Pevensie, hides inside the wardrobe. She discovers that it isn't a normal

wardrobe at all. It is a door to a snowy place in a forest. The place is silent and deserted

and, the strangest thing of all, there is a lamp post in the middle of the trees.

Lucy tells her brothers and sister about her adventure, and soon all four Pevensie children

travel through the wardrobe to the land on the other side. They discover it is called

Narnia and it is a magical place with talking animals and other strange creatures. It is cold

and snowy because a witch's spell makes it endless winter. Because of a Narnian

story/legend about four children who come from another land to help the Narnians, the

four children

become

the

kings

and

queens

of

the

land.

They

have

to

lead

a fight

against

the evil forces that are controlling Narnia. With the help of Aslan, a talking lion and the

most powerful creature in the land, they win the fight against the witch and her evil

creatures. Spring returns to Narnia, and it is a happy place again. Unfortunately, the

Pevensies have to return to the "real" world and leave their new friends behind. But all

four agree that discovering Narnia is the most amazing experience of their lives.
