| Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are sent to the Professor's house because of the air raids in Canada. While they are there, they get bored and decide to explore around the huge house. In one of the rooms it is empty except for a wardrobe. Lucy decides to go in the wardrobe and instead of finding the back of it, she finds Narnia.
When she gets out of the forest, she sees a lamppost and a Faun named Mr. Tumnus. The Faun takes her to his house where he gives her tea to drink. After a while, she found out that his intention had been to put her to sleep, then take her to the White Witch (the evil "Queen"). He finally decides to let her go and he takes her back to the lamppost. Next Edmund goes inside the wardrobe and sees the Witch and then leaves. Then all four kids are hiding from Mrs. Macready and step into the wardrobe, and meet Mr. Beaver. Mr. Beaver takes them to his house and tells them all about Narnia and about Aslan the lion, who they are supposed to meet at the Stone Table. After that, there are a series of battles and Aslan unfreezes everyone who was turned to stone. | ||
