During the World War II, four siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy were sent to live in the country with Professor Kirke.

They explored the house on their first day, and Lucy, the youngest, discovered an enormous wardrobe.

Being curious, Lucy stepped inside the wardrobe and found herself in a strange, snowy wood. She encountered the Faun Tumnus. “You are in Narnia. Let’s get going before you are caught by the Witch” said Tumnus. At his home, Tumnus sadly told Lucy that he was a servant of a terrible White Witch, who had bewitched Narnia so that in Narnia, it was always winter but there never was a Christmas.
