  • Wardrobe, Chapter 1: Lucy Looks Into a Wardrobe
    Apr 18 2018

    Four children arrive at an old house in the English countryside...

    “In about ten minutes she reached it and found it was a lamp-post. As she stood looking at it, wondering why there was a lamp-post in the middle of a wood and wondering what to do next, she heard a pitter patter of feet coming toward her.”- C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

  • Wardrobe, Chapter 2: What Lucy Found There
    Apr 18 2018

    Lucy meets a strange looking creature named Tumnus.

    “Oh—oh—you wouldn’t say that if you knew,” replied Mr. Tumnus between his sobs. “No, I’m a bad Faun. I don’t suppose there ever was a worse Faun since the beginning of the world.” - C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

  • Wardrobe, Chapter 3: Edmund and the Wardrobe
    Apr 18 2018

    Edmund follows Lucy into Narnia and meets its Queen.

    “But behind him, on a much higher seat in the middle of the sledge sat a very different person—a great lady, taller than any woman that Edmund had ever seen. She also was covered in white fur up to her throat and held a long straight golden wand in her right hand and wore a golden crown on her head. Her face was white—not merely pale, but white like snow or paper or icing-sugar, except for her very red mouth. It was a beautiful face in other respects, but proud and cold and stern.” - C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
