| THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE Spoiler alert: Plot details follow! When Lucy Pevensie finds a wardrobe in Professor Kirke's house that (sometimes) leads to Narnia, her siblings (Peter, Susan and Edmund) are sceptical. Then Edmund finds Narnia, too, but allows himself to fall under the spell of the White Witch. She wants them dead, because a prophecy says that four humans will end her reign of everlasting winter. Edmund agrees to bring the other three to her, in return for becoming a prince – and so he can eat more of the Turkish Delight she has given him... "Edmund was looking very hard at the empty box and wishing that she would ask him whether he would like some more. Probably the Queen knew quite well what he was thinking; for she knew, though Edmund did not, that this was enchanted Turkish Delight and that anyone who had once tasted it would want more and more of it, and would even, if they were allowed, go on eating it till they killed themsleves." Finally all four children visit Narnia. Aslan, the true lord of Narnia appears, and the Witch's winter starts to thaw. But she has Edmund, and the only way to save him is for Aslan himself to make the ultimate sacrifice. What the Witch doesn't know is that Aslan has deeper magic on his side than she ever imagined possible. The first of the Narnia books is, of course, the most unforgettable – magical, heartbreaking and thrilling. Click here for the other Narnia books. |
