The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The first of The Chronicles of Narnia. The four Pevensie children - Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy - are evacuated to the country during World War II. They stay at an old professor's house. While they are there, first Lucy, then Edmund, then all the children visit the magical land of Narnia, which is held in bondage by the White Witch.

Narnia is populated by charming talking animals, but their charm is tempered by their fear of the evil that entraps them. But hope is rising. Aslan is returning, they have heard. Who is this Aslan, and what will he do? Will he be able to cope with the fact that one of the children seems to have sold his soul to the enemy?
