The Chronicles of Narnia
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
pretending
he
was
blowing
his
nose
to
hide
it
.
As
soon
as
they
had
said
good
night
to
the
Professor
and
gone
upstairs
on
the
first
night
,
the
boys
came
into
the
girls
’
room
and
they
all
talked
it
over
.
"
We
’
ve
fallen
on
our
feet
and
no
mistake
,
"
said
Peter
.
"
This
is
going
to
be
perfectly
splendid
.
That
old
chap
will
let
us
do
anything
we
like
.
"
"
I
think
he
’
s
an
old
dear
,
"
said
Susan
.
"
Oh
,
come
off
it
!
"
said
Edmund
,
who
was
tired
and
pretending
not
to
be
tired
,
which
always
made
him
bad
-
tempered
.
"
Don
’
t
go
on
talking
like
that
.
"
"
Like
what
?
"
said
Susan
;
"
and
anyway
,
it
’
s
time
you
were
in
bed
.
"
"
Trying
to
talk
like
Mother
,
"
said
Edmund
.
"
And
who
are
you
to
say
when
I
’
m
to
go
to
bed
?
Go
to
bed
yourself
.
"
"
Hadn
’
t
we
all
better
go
to
bed
?
"
said
Lucy
.
"
There
’
s
sure
to
be
a
row
if
we
’
re
heard
talking
here
.
"
"
No
there
won
’
t
,
"
said
Peter
.
"
I
tell
you
this
is
the
sort
of
house
where
no
one
’
s
going
to
mind
what
we
do
.
Anyway
,
they
won
’
t
hear
us
.
It
’
s
about
ten
minutes
’
walk
from
here
down
to
that
dining
-
room
,
and
any
amount
of
stairs
and
passages
in
between
.
"
"
What
’
s
that
noise
?
"
said
Lucy
suddenly
.
It
was
a
far
larger
house
than
she
had
ever
been
in
before
and
the
thought
of
all
those
long
passages
and
rows
of
doors
leading
into
empty
rooms
was
beginning
to
make
her
feel
a
little
creepy
.
