In the bookThe Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we meet the Pevensie children. There are four children: Edmund, Lucy, Peter and Susan, and they live in the English countryside. Their parents have sent them to live in the safety of the country with Professor Digory Kirke. The story takes place during WWII when the Nazi’s are constantly bombing London. Like some many hundreds of London children, they are sent to live in the safety and security of the country.

Although Professor Kirke is kind and friendly, the children are alone much of the day because he spends most of his hours in a closed study. The house is large with many rooms so in order to have something to day, the children explore. The many rooms seem to go on and on, some are furnished, yet some are empty. They spend hours exploring and playing hide and seek.

One day, Lucy Pevensie hides in a large wardrobe. This is an amazing situation. As she avoids slipping on moth balls she moves toward the wardrobe’s back panel to escape detection. Carefully, she moves past the many musty fur coats. As she pushes past she discovers there is no back to this wardrobe!
Lucy tumbles into the magical world of Narnia through a time portal. Curious, she inches forward. She stops under a lamp post. There she meets a faun, Mr. Tumnus. She agrees to visit Mr. Tumnus’ cave to get out of the cold.
