I have read this story many times and have enjoyed it every time I have read it. It is the story of how the Pevensey children find Narnia. In a stately home of Digory Kirke, who is now an ederly man, the Pevensey children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, come to spend time away from London and the blitzkrig. They are playing and discover an old wardrobe in a spare room and Lucy enters it and finds herself in Narnia, where she meets a faun, Mr Tumnus, and they become friends. Later all the children enter Narnia and meet Aslan, the lion king, who was waiting for them so the prophecy can be fulfilled. But before anything can happen, Aslan must make a heavy sacrifice to restore Edmund. The battle starts in earnest and all kinds of wonderous things take place in Narnia.
