THE LION, THE WITCH
AND THE WARDROBE
ONCE THERE WERE FOUR CHILDREN whose names were
Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story is about something
that happened to them when they were sent away from London
during the war because of the air-raids. They were sent to the
house of an old Professor who lived in the heart of the country,
ten miles from the nearest railway station and two miles from
the nearest post office. He had no wife and he lived in a very
large house with a housekeeper called Mrs. Macready and
three servants. (Their names were Ivy, Margaret and Betty, but
they do not come into the story much.) He himself was a very
old man with shaggy white hair which grew over most of his
face as well as on his head, and they liked him almost at once;
but on the first evening when he came out to meet them at the
front door he was so odd-looking that Lucy (who was the
youngest) was a little afraid of him, and Edmund (who was
the next youngest) wanted to laugh and had to keep on pre-
tending he was blowing his nose to hide it.
