The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, by CS Lewis Is one of seven parts in the epic adventures of four children who accidentally enter a completely different world. Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy find themselves one day in a place called Narnia ruled by an evil witch. They embark on a journey to right the witch's wrongs. In their quest, they encounter unexpected obstacles. Children try to face these obstacles with everything they can. The children's journey includes many mythical creatures that you only dream of. Good creatures and bad creatures, there is a war. Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are destined to repair and bring peace to Narnia, but the problem is their only children. Four children are sent to the English countryside during the war to avoid air raids. They go to live with an old professor who has no wife, only a cleaning lady. There, the children find an old wardrobe which, if looked through, leads them to a magical place called Narnia. However, the children did not all enter at the same time. Lucy, the youngest, by Peter, the eldest, Susan, the second eldest, and Edmund, the third eldest enter first, through the wardrobe and at the lamp post, encountering a faun. When she returns to our world, the other three children don't believe her. Edmund taunts her and follows her to Narnia one day. There he cannot find her and he meets the White Witch. She tells him to bring all his brothers and sisters to Narnia. He agrees to her evil plan thinking she is a kind queen. When Lucy sees Edmund, she is filled with joy. She supposes Edmund might support her this time. So when they return Lucy tells her siblings, Lucy thinks Edmund will support her, but apparently out of spite he denies ever being in Narnia.
