The story begins when four children: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are evacuated from London because of the Blitz during World War II. The house to which they are evacuated is very large and somewhat famous. On a rainy day, they explore the house and find a room with a wardrobe inside. The youngest, Lucy, goes in and finds a snowy wood and a Faun named Mr. Tumnus. The faun welcomes her to the land of Narnia and invites her to his house for tea. After serving tea, he lulls her asleep with the intention of handing her over to the White Witch. He changes his mind and in tears explains everything to Lucy. He helps her escape back to ‘Spare Oom’ and ‘War Drobe,’ countries he never studied in school. | The story begins when four children: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are evacuated from London because of the Blitz during World War II.
