At a lamppost oddly located in the forest, she meets Tumnus, a faun, who invites her to tea in his home. There the faun confesses that he invited her not out of hospitality, but with the intention of betraying her to the White Witch. The Professor is a kindly old gentleman who takes the children in when they are evacuated from London. He is the first to believe that Lucy did indeed visit a land called Narnia. He tries to convince the others logically that she did not make it up. After the children return from Narnia, he assures them that they will return one day. The book hints that he knows more of Narnia than he lets on (hints expanded upon in later books of the series). Murphy, Jim (2 January 2003). "Mythical, magical puppetry". The Age (theage.com.au) .

Edmund, meanwhile, is exhausted from the walking. He and the Witch come to a halt in a valley, where she ties him to a tree and prepares to kill him. At that moment, there is a commotion, and Edmund faints. The Witch and her dwarf escape, but Edmund is saved by Aslan. In the morning, he walks with Aslan, and they share a private conversation. When they return, Edmund tells his brother and sisters that he is sorry, and they all forgive him. The Witch then seeks an audience with Aslan. There is discussion about a deep magic that requires traitors such as Edmund to be handed over to the Witch. Aslan, however, takes her aside and reaches an agreement, one that no one dares ask about. The Witch goes, and the rest set up camp for the night. Readers might quibble over Lewis’s categorisation here, and decide that what he is outlining is a distinction without a difference (perhaps clouded by his Christianity, and his unwillingness to see his children’s books as ‘mere’ allegory for Christianity, but instead as something more direct and powerful). Part of the reason for the novel’s broader appeal, even in an increasingly secular age, is that it provides escapism and wish-fulfilment aplenty. The whole idea of a portal to another world symbolises the children’s literal escape from a dreary wartime world (where the danger of being bombed during the Blitz has given way to a rather dull life in the countryside with a professor) into a world of crisp snow, magic, and adventure.

I did not in the least feel that I was getting in more quantity or better quality a pleasure I had already known. It was more as if a cupboard which one had hitherto valued as a place for hanging coats proved one day, when you opened the door, to lead to the garden of the Hesperides...

You know 'em - the Movers & the Shakers: the Armies of the Night, as Mailer said in 1968.

A 2012 survey by the University of Worcester determined that it was the second-most common book that UK adults had read as children, after Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. (Adults, perhaps limited to parents, ranked Alice and The Lion fifth and sixth as books the next generation should read, or their children should read during their lifetimes.)
