The book concerns the adventures of four English children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. They are staying in a large, old house owned by Professor Wotsit (can't remember). Whilst playing a game of [hide and seek]?, Lucy enters a wardrobe, and finds herself in a snow-covered forest (which curiously features a lighted lamp post). She meets Mr Tumnus, a faun, who befriends her. Over tea and buttered toast, Mr Tumnus intimates that Narnia is in thrall to a tyrant, the White Witch, who turns her enemies into stone, and has made it "always Winter, but never Christmas". |

On their return, to Lucy's disgust, Edmund pretends that he has not really been in Narnia. Peter and Susan speak to Professor Wotsit about their concern that Lucy persists in treating her "made up story" as real, but the professor refuses to dismiss it. |

Peter and Susan speak to Professor Wotsit about their concern that Lucy persists in treating her "made up story" as real, but the professor refuses to dismiss it. Rather, he defends Lucy, asking the others to compare her record of truthfulness against Edmund's. |

Finally, all four children go into Narnia. They discover that Mr Tumnus is missing, and his house has been ransacked. They meet Mr and Mrs Beaver, who speak of Aslan who is rumoured to be arriving to save Narnia. They prepare to set off on a journey to Cair Paravel (to meet Aslan, I presume, but I've forgotten some details). They notice that Edmund has disappeared, and realise that he had, in fact, been in Narnia before, and has betrayed them. Along the way, they are overtaken by Father Christmas, who gives them all useful presents, and hints that the power of the Witch is waning. |
