The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tells the story of the Pevensie children - Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy - and their first adventures in the magical land of Narnia.
The story begins during World War II in England. Because of the bombs in London, the children have to go and stay with their strange uncle in the country. The house he lives in is much bigger than their home in London, with many empty rooms. There is a big old wardrobe in one of the rooms. While they are playing a game of hide-and-seek, Lucy, the youngest Pevensie, hides inside the wardrobe. She discovers that it isn't a normal wardrobe at all. It is a door to a snowy place in a forest.
The place is silent and deserted and, the strangest thing of all, there is a lamp post in the middle of the trees. Lucy tells her brothers and sister about her adventure, and soon all four Pevensie children travel through the wardrobe to the land on the other side. They discover it is called Narnia and it is a magical place with talking animals and other strange creatures. It is cold and snowy because a witch's spell makes it endless winter.
Because of a Narnian story/legend about four children who come from another land to help the Narnians, the four children become the kings and queens of the land. They have to lead a fight against the evil forces that are controlling Narnia. With the help of Aslan, a talking lion and the most powerful creature in the land, they win the fight against the witch and her evil creatures. Spring returns to Narnia, and it is a happy place again. Unfortunately, the Pevensies have to return to the "real" world and leave their new friends behind. But all four agree that discovering Narnia is the most amazing experience of their lives.
