SUMMARY

In the beginning of the story four young relatives – Peter, Lucy, Edmund and Susan Pevensie are
evacuated from London because the city was under a threat of being attacked in the war. They
were supposed to live in the village at an eccentric professor Kirke.
When the kids come to the house they decide to explore their new environment. The youngest
one, Lucy, finds a big, old wardrobe. She decides to open it and then she finds herself in Narnia,
covered in snow.
Lucy found a fawn named Tumnus who has never seen a girl before and he is left surprised by
her appearance. Tumnus explained Lucy that they are in the parallel world of Narnia and he
invites her for tea. After some time Tumnus starts crying and tells Lucy that he is actually a
secret servant of the White Witch that enchanted Narnia so that there would be eternal snow
and coldness. Tumnus explained to Lucy that the White Witch ordered him to bring her the first
human creature he finds in Narnia. Tumnus liked Lucy a lot so he let her go back to the world
without mentioning her to the Witch.
Lucy left Narnia and told her relatives what she had seen in the wardrobe. They don’t believe
her because she told them that she had been drinking tea for hours when they had seen her a
couple of minutes ago (time flows differently in Narnia). Her older relatives decide to check out
the wardrobe and they find nothing there so they just conclude that Lucy made it all up.
Susan and Lucy spent the night with Aslan’s dead body. In the morning they heard some noise
and then the Stone Tables where Aslan was killed broke in half. Aslan’s body disappeared. They
heard Aslan’s voice telling them that he isn’t completely dead and that he came back even
stronger. Aslan led the girls to the Witch’s castle where they freed her prisoners that were
turned into ice statues. Susan, Lucy and Aslan left to join the battle between Peter’s army and
the Witch’s army. Peter and his army were running out of strength but Aslan appeared and
killed the Witch. After that her army fell apart.
Aslan declared Edmund a knight because he redeemed his sins he did while he was enchanted
and because of his participation in the battle. Susan, Lucy, Peter and Edmund came to the
throne Cair Paravel, the main castle of Narnia and its symbol as Narnia’s official rulers. Aslan
then disappeared again. They ruled for many years and then they became adults. One day, while
they were riding on their horses, they found the way out of Narnia. They decided to leave
Narnia in peace they’ve established and gone back to their world.
Susan, Peter, Edmund and Lucy came back to their world and they were only a few minutes
older even though they lived a lifetime in Narnia. They told their adventures to professor Kirke
who told them that one day they’ll find their way back to Narnia.

 ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

1. C.S. Lewis stands for Clive Staples Lewis.

2. Born: 29 November 1898 in Belfast Ireland.

3. When he was 4, he announces his new name to be

"Jacksie" after his dog who had recently died. Friends
and family called him "Jacksie" and "Jack" for most of his
life.

4. At the Age of 15 Lewis gave up his childhood

Christian faith and became an atheist.

5. In 1917 he left his studies to serve in the WWI

British Army.

6. Lewis converts to Christianity in 1931, (age 33).

7. Occupation: Novelist, scholar, broadcaster.

8. Married only once, at the age of 58, to Joy

Davidman on April 1956, she dies 4 years later.

9. He never had any children of his own, but raised his

two step sons after Joy's death.

10. In Oxford, England On 22 November 1963, exactly

one week before his 65th birthday, Lewis collapsed in
his bedroom at 5:30 pm and died a few minutes later.
His death was almost completely overshadowed by news
of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which
occurred on the same day, as did the death of Aldous
Huxley.

REFLECTIVE ESSAY:

As many fans of Lewis’s classic story The Lion, the Witch

and the Wardrobe have already observed, the movie is
really quite good and well worth seeing. It is a generally
faithful rendition of Lewis’s beautiful and imaginative
original. Indeed the film is really at its best when it
adheres most closely to the book. It was reported that at
one time another group of filmmakers was planning to
produce a very different version of the story. Supposedly
their plan was to set Lewis’s wonderful children’s classic
“in present-day Brentwood. Instead of a White Witch
wooing young Edmund with Turkish Delight, a cool
Californian would win him with cheeseburgers.”{9} If this
is really true, we can all rejoice that such an absurd
retelling of Lewis’s famous story never saw the light of
day. All those involved with bringing The Lion, the Witch
and the Wardrobe to the big screen are to be commended
for adhering so closely to Lewis’s original vision.
But of course no movie is perfect, and The Lion is no
exception. Possibly two of the biggest disappointments
for fans of the book are the diminished role given to some
of Lewis’s most important dialogue and the diminished
importance of the great lion himself. For example,
compared to his counterpart in the book, wise old
professor Kirke has precious little to say in the movie.
