Four siblings escape the dangers of living in London during WWII by taking refuge with a professor that owns a large house in the country. While exploring the house, the youngest Lucy ends up climbing into the wardrobe and meets a faun in Narnia. A few days later when she hides in the wardrobe for hide and seek, both she and her brother Edmund find their way into Narnia where Lucy visits the faun and Edmund meets the white witch. Finally all four children duck into the wardrobe to avoid a house tour and end up in Narnia together. Mr. Tumnus, the faun, has been taken by the witch, and three of the children seek out Aslan with the aid of Mr. and Mrs. Beaver to try to save them. Edmund goes to the white witch hoping for magical food and the chance to be made king one day only to discover that all of her promises were simply lies. Working together Aslan and the children must defeat the white witch to regain control of Narnia.
I have enjoyed Lewis' tale many times both for myself and with my children. It's been a few years since I read the story to my 3rd child, so it has been fun to revisit it with my youngest and then borrow the movie from the library for all of the kids to watch.
