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.
Please read the following extract from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by
CS Lewis and answer the questions that follow.
