The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, Witch and the WardrobeÂ
Young Lucy Pevenise, along with her older brothers Edmund and Peter, and her older sister, Susan, are in London during the initial bombing raids of WW II.
And like many families of the time, the parents decide to send them to the country for safer keeping. Peter, the oldest, is told by their mother to “watch over them” and make sure they stay safe.
And although this seems like a fairly simple request, Peter’s ability to protect his siblings will be put to the ultimate test. But not by WW II, but by an amazing secret discovered by young Lucy.
Soon after being spirited into the company of a hermit-like professor’s care (Jim Broadbent), they decide to play hide-and-seek, and it’s during this game which Lucy discovers a mysterious wardrobe.
She tucks herself inside and backs to the rear of the cabinet …only to discover herself in an entirely different world. Here she meets up with Mr. Tumnus, a strange half-stag, half-human creature who explains much about the wintry landscape Lucy now finds herself in.
The place is called Narnia, and it’s been locked in winter for over 100 years by someone known as “The White Witch” (who claims to be the Queen of Narnia).
