S. Lewis]]. It is set in an imaginary place called [[Narnia]], where the main characters who are brothers and sisters are led into by the back of a [[wardrobe]] (closet). It is the second book by order in the Narnia series after ''[[The Magician's Nephew]]'', but is the first book [[publish]]ed in the series. == Summary == Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie leave [[London]] during [[World War II]] to live in the country. While playing in the [[house]], Lucy hides in a [[wardrobe]]. She finds that it leads to a different land. There, she meets a [[faun]] (half-goat, half-man) named Mr. Tumnus. While having tea, he tells her that the land is called Narnia. It is ruled by the White Witch, who makes it always [[winter]], but never [[Christmas]]. When Lucy returns to the wardrobe after many hours, she finds that only a few seconds have passed in [[England]]. Her brothers and sister do not believe her and the wardrobe has closed so they cannot go into Narnia. Many weeks later, Lucy comes back to the wardrobe during a game of hide-and-seek. Edmund follows her into Narnia, but cannot find her. Instead, he meets a [[lady]]. She says she is the Queen of Narnia and gives him [[Turkish Delight]]. She promises to make him [[prince]] if he will bring the other [[child]]ren to her castle. A
