The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was written by C.S. Lewis in 1950. It was the first book of The Chronicles of Narnia.
Story Summary:
Four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, are sent to the countryside of England during the war to avoid the air raids. They go to live with an old professor. While there, the children find an old wardrobe that if walked through, leads them to a magical place--Narnia.
They found out from an ancient prophecy of Narnia that two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve fill the four thrones of Cair Paravel and the witch*s power will fail.
In the meanwhile, Edmund was tempted by the witch and betrayed his brother and sisters. The rest went on to see Aalan, the Lion and the true king of Narnia. Edmund was rescued from the witch when he was about to be killed.
Calling for a truce, the witch demands that Edmund be returned to her, as an ancient law gives her possession of all traitors. Aslan, acknowledging the law, offers himself in Edmund's place and the witch accepts.
Aslan is sacrificed by the witch, but comes back to life, and, during a final battle, the witch is defeated and killed.
The children become kings and queens, and spend many years in Narnia, growing to maturity, before returning to our world, where they find themselves children again.
