It is a large house with many rooms, one of which contains a large mysterious wardrobe – a portal to a snow-filled world, inhabited by talking animals, mystical creatures, and giants.

Narnia, however, is rule by the evil White Witch. The four children and the great Lion Aslan must defeat the witch. The eventually succeed, and become kings and queens reigning for 15 years before returning to the “real” world. It is a story that has captivated the hearts and minds of children and adults since originally written in 1950.
