Set during WWII, the Pevensie children are sent away to stay with an eccentric professor to escape the bombings of London. This captivating story starts where Lucy stumbles into a closet during a game of hide-and-seek and travels into the world of Narnia. Peter, Susan, and Edmund follow Lucy through the back of the wardrobe into the magical land of Narnia. There, they assist Aslan, the golden lion, to battle against the evil White Witch and her minions and free Narnia from everlasting winter. This world is filled with mythical creatures, talking animals, and siblings who must overcome their own failings to become the heroes and heroines of Narnia.
