The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe begins as four siblings (Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy) arrive in the country to escape the dangers of London in World War II. They take refuge with the Professor in his big, rambling house in the country.  One day, while exploring the house, Lucy accidentally finds her way through a wardrobe into a wintry countryside. She’s met there by the playful Mr. Tumnus, who tells her she’s in the land of Narnia and invites her to tea. Later, he sadly confesses that he’s under orders from the powerful White Witch (who rules Narnia and who has made it eternal winter, but never Christmas) to betray any human visitors to her.

During World War II, the fear that the German bombing would cause many deaths lead to children being evacuated from British towns and cities and sent to live in the countryside. This video shows a day in the life of a 10 year old evacuee.
