CHAPTER I
Lucy Looks into a Wardrobe
• The time was World War 2. There were 4 children
from London
that were sent to live with an old professor in the
country to be safe from the bombings
• Their names were Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter
• The kids realized that the old house would hold
all sorts of secrets and would be a fun place to live
CHAPTER I
Lucy Looks into a Wardrobe
• The youngest, Lucy, was scared until she
found the wardrobe on the 3rd floor
• She went inside the doors and then
discovered it was a secret door to another
world
• Inside the wardrobe, Lucy discovered woods,
and snow and darkness
CHAPTER 2
What Lucy Found There
• A hoofed creature named Mr. Tumnus greeted her and got
her out of the cold.
• They had tea and cakes, and became friends
• But then the faun started to cry, as he was supposed to
kidnap any humans for the White Witch.
• Mr. Tumnus told Lucy the White Witch was the Queen over
the land called Narnia.
• The White Witch/Queen made it always winter, but never
Christmas.
CHAPTER 2
What Lucy Found There
• But Mr. Tumnus just couldn’t kidnap Lucy for the Witch, as he
liked her so.
• Instead, he told her to go home, to the land of Spare Oom, and
War Drobe.
• She left him to go back to the old house, and no one had
missed her, because no time had taken place.
CHAPTER 3
Edmund and the Wardrobe
• Lucy went back and told her brothers and sister all about the land
of Narnia.
• They didn’t believe her and thought her very silly
• They looked into the wardrobe but only found old coats.
• She was sad, but went back to see the wardrobe again, and went
inside it.
• Edmund followed her and got in too.
• He shouted to her, and she didn’t answer. So he walked on, and
then heard bells.
CHAPTER 4
Turkish Delight
• A beautiful sleigh with reindeer and
a regal lady appeared.
• She screamed STOP! She had seen Edmund and wanted to know
who he was.
• She told him to address her as her Majesty, as she was the Queen
of Narnia.
• He told her he was Edmund.
• She wanted to know if he was a Son of Adam? He didn’t
understand- and then she wanted to know how he came to this
land?
CHAPTER 4
Turkish Delight
• The Queen seemed very angry
at Edmund
• Then suddenly, she seemed nice. She gave him her coat, and
magically fed him candy and a warm drink.
• She kept asking him questions about his family
• She then told him she wanted to meet his brother and sisters, but
that it must be a secret.
CHAPTER 4
Turkish Delight
•
•
•
•
She told him that she wanted him to be the next king of Narnia.
The Queen told him to go home, and bring his siblings back to her.
He left her and found Lucy, who was delighted that he was there.
They went back to tell the others, but Edmund knew he would be in
trouble with the Queen if he said he actually had been to Narnia.
CHAPTER 5
Back on this side of the Door
• Lucy was excited to tell Susan and Peter that Edmund
had seen Narnia, too.
• Edmund pretended he was just playing along with Lucy
and there was no Narnia.
• Peter and Susan went to the Professor to ask him about
the whole thing
CHAPTER 5
Back on this side of the Door
• He asked if they knew Lucy or Edmund to be the most
truthful.
• They both felt Lucy was the most honest.
• The Professor did say that his house was most odd and
maybe there really was a way into another land, like Narnia,
through a secret passage, like the wardrobe.
CHAPTER 6
Into the Forest
• There were always tourists visiting the professor’s old
house.
• The children went to hide from them and all of them
went into the wardrobe.
• Suddenly, they were all in Narnia.
• They put on the coats to stay warm.
CHAPTER 6
Into the Forest
• Lucy was very excited to have them all in the new wonderful land.
• Edmund spoke of the lamppost, and they all realized he had also
visited before.
• They let Lucy be the leader, but Edmund was put out as he had
been caught lying about being there before.
• Lucy led the way to Mr. Tumnus’ house. His house was a wreck
and he was gone.
CHAPTER 6
Into the Forest
• A note said that Mr. Tumnus was under arrest and was
awaiting trial for high treason against the Queen.
• They asked Lucy about the Queen, and she told them she
really was a terrible witch.
• Susan wanted to go back but Lucy convinced them to help
her
friend out of his imprisonment.
CHAPTER 6
Into the Forest
• Suddenly there was a little robin, who got them
to follow him through the woods.
• Edmund asked Peter if he thought the robin
may actually be a spy and maybe trapping
them in the woods.
CHAPTER 7
A Day with the Beavers
• The robin disappeared, but then they saw a small animal
hiding.
• The animal was a beaver and it was signaling to them to
be very quiet.
• The beaver asked if they were Sons of Adam and
Daughters of Eve?
• They said yes, they were.
CHAPTER 7
A Day with the Beavers
• The beaver showed them the handkerchief
Lucy had given Mr. Tumnus.
• He had given it to the beaver to make sure
that they would seek out and met the
humans.
• The beaver said that Aslan is on the movesuddenly everything became less scary.
CHAPTER 7
A Day with the Beavers
• The children had no idea who or what
Aslan was, but suddenly, they felt safer and more trusting of the
beavers.
• They went to the beavers home at the river.
• Edmund saw another river farther away, and thought of the Queen.
• And of her promise to make him King, if he brought his siblings to
her.
• They helped the missus beaver to make dinner, and they all ate a
great meal of fish and potatoes.
CHAPTER 8
What Happened After Dinner
• Finally, Mr. Beaver told them what had happened to Mr.
Tumnus- he had been dragged to the White Witch’s house, and
was probably to be turned into a stone statue, just like all her
other enemies
• The Beaver said there was no point in them trying to save him,
but now that Aslan was on the move, maybe he could save
them.
• The Beaver said “Spring was in the air”.
CHAPTER 8
What Happened After Dinner
• “Who is Aslan?” asked Susan.
• The beaver said he was the King, the Lord of the whole
wood.
• It was Aslan who brought the warmth of spring.
• The beaver said Aslan would make sure that the White
Queen would be rendered powerless.
CHAPTER 8
What Happened After Dinner
• The beaver said the children would meet Aslan, the Lion King, the
next day, at the stone table.
• He said that the Witch was actually from Adam’s first wife, Lilith,
who was part Jinn and part giant.
CHAPTER 8
What Happened After Dinner
• That is why she was always looking for humans- she knows if
2 sons of Adam and 2 daughters of Eve were to come to
Narnia, they would sit on the 4 thrones in her castle.
•
When this happens, then her reign as
Queen and her life would be over
• They suddenly realized Edmund was missing.
• The snow was falling so hard, they decided they had
to find him.
CHAPTER 8
What Happened After Dinner
• They had to leave the dam and run from
the White Witch as fast as they could.
• The Beaver had another idea- he realized
that Edmund had gone to her and was
about to betray them all.
• The children also realized Edmund had met the
Witch before, but still felt they had to try to find
him.
CHAPTER 8
What Happened After Dinner
• They tried to figure out when Edmund left- did he hear about the
stone table in the woods and Aslan the Lion King?
• If so, then the beavers knew she would be on her way to their house
immediately.
CHAPTER 9
In the Witch’s House
• Edmund had heard the conversation about the White
Witch.
• He realized that if he didn’t leave would never get his
favorite candy- Turkish Delight and would never be a
prince and later the King.
• He felt all the talk about how evil the witch was just
couldn’t be true, as she had been so nice to him.
• He traveled through the snow and dark and it was cold, so
he thought about all the wonderful things he could do
when he was king.
CHAPTER 9
In the Witch’s House
• Edmund got colder and wetter and he blamed his
brother Peter for all of it
• Edmund also blamed Peter for being mean to him.
• He reached the palace, and found all these stone
animals- a lion, a dwarf.
• He went to the stone lion, thinking it was Aslan, and
that the witch had already turned him to stone.
• He wasn’t afraid of the stone statue.
CHAPTER 9
In the Witch’s House
• He then saw a stone wolf, which
really wasn’t a statue.
• But then the wolf awoke and scared him.
• The guard wolf told the Queen that Edmund was there and wanted
to let her know where his brother and sisters were in Narnia.
• He also told her what he had heard about Aslan. She got quite
upset.
• The dwarf went to get the sleigh and they all went off to find the
children right away
CHAPTER I0
The Spell begins to Break
• The beavers and the other children packed supplies and left the dam.
• They stayed in the valleys and walked and walked
and walked.
Then they found a hole, and a secret dam to stay in for the night.
• They awoke in the morning, hearing bells.
• They thought it was the witches sleigh, but it wasn’t- it was
Father Christmas, and he was bringing them presents
and springtime.
CHAPTER I0
The Spell begins to Break
• Father Christmas gave everyone a present: Mrs. Beaver got a new
sewing machine; Mr. Beaver a finished dam.
• He gave Peter a shield and a sword. Susan was given a bow and
arrows and Lucy a glass vial with magic healing liquid inside. He
told them they would need them to battle the White Witch
CHAPTER I1
Aslan is Nearer
•
•
•
•
Edmund was with the Witch, in her sleigh.
She didn’t speak to him and he was scared.
He asked for more Turkish delight candy, and got only stale bread.
She ordered the wolves to go to the Beavers house and kill them.
CHAPTER I1
Aslan is Nearer
• She then ordered her driver to take them to the river
crossing to get to the humans before they reached the
stone table.

he was with the others. He was
really hungry and tired.

Aslan is Nearer

dwarf and an old dog-fox, who were eating
and celebrating.
The Witch Queen was furious! Who gave you
this food!
They replied, Father Christmas.
She acused of lying to her!
She turned them into stone, even as Edmund
begged her not to. She then slapped Edmund
and told him not to beg for mercy for traitors!
CHAPTER I1
Aslan is Nearer

Peter’s First Battle

they were warm and took off their coats.
• They saw crocus blooming and suddenly it seemed
like June.

they did know the witches spells cast endless winter.
• They realized the spell was broken. They kept
walking with the beavers.

they say an open hill area, with a large
stone table and pillars around it.

and saw the setting sun.

Dryads and Naiads, centuars, unicorns,
a pelican, an eagle and a dog, and next
to Aslan stood two leopards, one with his crown, one with his
standard

to do next. They approached him, and he welcomed them.

he had betrayed them by going to the White Witch.
Peter told Aslan that it was his fault that Edmund had left them,
as he had been angry with him about Lucy.
Lucy asked Aslan if he could save Edmund. Aslan said he would,
but it would take a lot of effort on all of their parts.
Aslan then took Peter to show him the castle where he was to
be made King.
CHAPTER I2
Peter’s First Battle

that he was not a traitor to her.

Deep Magic from the Dawn of Time

belongs to her and that she has the right to kill the traitor.

perish in fire and water.

at night.
