Mythical creatures, The Dawn of Time, untold prophecies, mighty rulers, an evil queen, MAGIC, do you believe this could all exist? The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis Is one of seven parts of the epic adventures of four children who enter a totally different world, by accident. Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, one day find themselves in a place called Narnia ruled by and evil witch. They embark on a journey to right the wrongs of the witch. In their quest they come along some unexpected obstacles. The children try and face these obstacles with all they are. The Children's journey includes many mythical creatures you only dream of. Good creatures and bad creatures, there is a war. Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are destined to fix and bring peace to Narnia, but the thing is, their only children.

While there, the children find an old wardrobe that if walked through, leads them to a magical place called Narnia. Although, the children did not all enter at once. Lucy, the youngest, of Peter, the eldest, Susan, the second eldest, and Edmund, the third eldest enters first, through the wardrobe and at the lamp post, meets a Faun.
