The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - C. S. Lewis

Clive Staples Lewis was an Anglican lay theologian and writer from Britain.He was an English literature professor at Cambridge University and Oxford University.

In the beginning of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, four siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy—arrive in the country in order to flee London's perils during World War II.They are initially excited by the opportunities for fun and play they discover when they seek refuge with the middle-aged Professor in his sprawling country home.

Lucy accidentally wanders through the house one day and ends up in a wintery countryside that is very different from England. She meets the jovial Mr. Tumnus there, who tells her she is in the land of Narnia and invites her to tea.

When all four siblings eventually enter Narnia, Peter calls out Edmund for lying and hurting Lucy's feelings.Edmund harbors an ever-increasing animosity toward Peter as the four children learn that Mr. Tumnus has been detained by the Witch's wolf police. The children are then provided shelter by two friendly Beavers, who inform them that Narnia is about to undergo a transformation.
