ONCE THERE WERE FOUR CHILDREN..... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ NARNIA... the land beyond the wardrobe door, a secret place frozen in eternal winter... a magical country waiting to be set free. Lucy is the first to find the secret of the wardrobe in the Professor's mysterious old house. At first, her brothers and sister don't believe her when she tells of her visit to the land of Narnia. But soon Edmund, then Peter and Susan step through the wardrobe themselves. In Narnia they find a country buried under the evil enchantment of the White Witch. When they meet the Great Lion, Aslan, they realize they've been called to a great adventure and bravely join the battle to free Narnia from the Witch's sinister spell. -from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C.S.Lewis ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, is my very favourite book, and I hope to do it justice in this review. The story is set during WWII England. Four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are sent from London to a large, old house in the country, "because of the air-raids". While exploring the various nooks and crannies in the house, the youngest, Lucy stumbles across a large, and mysterious-looking wardrobe. Finding it unlocked, she continues further, only to find that there is no back to the Wardrobe. Lucy follows a light coming from an English style lampost when she discovers the magical world of Narnia, which is under a spell of a hundred years winter. There she meets the unsuspecting faun, Mr. Tumnus. Following secret orders given by none other than the wicked White Witch (Jadis), Tumnus invites Lucy to his home for tea. Mr. Tumnus befriends Lucy, letting her return to the Lampost, against the Witch's orders. Lucy excidedly describes Narnia to her siblings, only to discover that the Wardrobe has a solid back once more. Through a series of events, unbelieving Edmund follows Lucy back into Narnia, where he meets the White Witch, and joins her side. Several days later, Peter and Susan, (who don't know that Edmund has ever been there) stumble upon Narnia, along Lucy and Edmund. Once there, the children discover that they are there to fullfill a prophecy that will save all of Narnia from the Witch. Peter, Susan, and Lucy go on to join Aslan, where as Edmund betrays them and joins Jadis. Edmund is later saved by Aslan's army. Unfortunatley, The White Witch is unwilling to forgive his treachery and demands his life as payment. Aslan unselfishly saves Edmund by giving his own life as a replacement. Aslan's army, led by Peter, attacks the Witch and her forces. With the help of Aslan, they are victorious and defeat the Witch. The children fulfill the prophecy, and become the Kings and Queens of Narnia. The happy years of their reign are known (in Narnia mind you) as the Golden years. Many years later they stumble back into England, exactly as they had so many years before found Narnia. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Character Sketches Peter: The eldest child in the Pevensie family, Peter is given the unspoken responsibility of protecting his younger siblings, and later Narnia. After slaying the Witch's chief of police, Peter is Knighted 'Sir Peter Wolf's -Bane by Aslan. He becomes High King of Narnia, above his brother and sisters, and 'King Peter the Magnificent'. He is also in, Prince Caspian, and The Last Battle. "I'm longing to see him even if I do feel frightened when it comes to the point." -Peter Pevensie refering to meeting Aslan Susan: The oldest girl, in the family, Susan trys to act mature and be "logical" . She generally to look out for her brothers' and sister's welfare, but usually comes acrossed as bossy. Lucy and Susan are the only ones to witness Aslan's death at the round* table. After the conquer of the White Witch and her minions, Susan becomes the beautiful Queen Susan the Gentle of Narnia, along with her brothers and sister. Unfortunately, later in life Susan apparently stops believing in Narnia, and consequently Aslan (Jesus). She is also in The Horse and his Boy, and Prince Caspian. "Is he—quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion." - Susan Pevensie on the brink of meeting Aslan Edmund: Edmund is the rebellious little brother. He resents his brother for telling him what to do, and basically, for just being older than himself. Edmund likes to "be beastly to anyone smaller than himself", including his younger sister, Lucy. He is the second of the children to enter Narnia (Lucy being first of course), where he joins the Witch's side, out of greed and spite. Edmund is at first afraid of Aslan, and tries to convince himself of the White Witch's innocence and goodness. Upon betraying his family he begins to feel some guilt (mainly because he is treated poorly), as a result, he does not recieve a gift from Father Chrismtas. Edmund eventually realizes his wrong doing, and joins his brother and sisters at Aslan's camp. The Witch will not so easily give up her captive, therefore Aslan gives the ultimate sacrifice for Emund (symbolic of Christ dying for the forgiving of our sins). Hence forth, Edmund becomes a good and faithful follower of Aslan, and from then on, he almost always trusts Lucy. He is crowned 'King Edmund the Just'. He returns in The Horse and his Boy, Prince Caspian, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Last Battle. "When I’m King of Narnia the first thing I shall do will be to make decent roads." - Edmund Pevensie complaining Lucy: The youngest and most faithful of the Pevensies, Lucy believes in Aslan from the very beginning. She is described as very truthful, happy, and trusting. Lucy, along with her sister Susan, witness Aslan being sacrificed by the White Witch and her army of dark creatures. At the coronation, Lucy becomes "Queen Lucy the Valiant". She reappears in The Horse and his Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Last Battle. "You are the nicest faun I've ever met." - Lucy Pevensie to Mr. Tumnus
The White Witch: "Jadis is the embodiment of all evil. She's the most beautiful woman you'll ever see in your life. The devil dresses up his temptations in beauty, so Jadis also represents that side of Satan's favorite temptations......" — Douglas Gresham "You must learn, child, that what would be wrong for you or for any of the common people is not wrong in a great Queen such as I. The weight of the world is on our shoulders. We must be freed from all rules. Ours is a high and lonely destiny." -Jadis, in the Magician's Nephew "I see you are an idiot, whatever else you may be. Answer me, once and for all, or I shall lose my patience. Are you human?" -The White Witch, upon meeting Edmund
Aslan: "Who's Aslan? Why, don't you know? He's the King—the King of the whole wood, and the Son of the great Emperor-beyond-the-Sea. He's wild, you know. If there's anyone who can appear before him without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most or else just silly. He isn't safe... But he is good. He'll often drop in, only you musn't press him to stay. He's not like a tame lion. Yes, Aslan is a lion—the Lion, the great Lion."
