This novel is set in Narnia, a land of talking animals and mythical creatures, where one White Witch has ruled for 100 years of deep winter. Four English children are relocated to a large, old country house following a wartime evacuation. The youngest child discovers the land of Narnia through the magic of a wardrobe in a spare room. All four children then visit, and seem fit to fulfill an old prophecy and are soon adventuring both to save Narnia and their lives.
