the umbrella: in the other arm he carried several brown-paper parcels. What with the
parcels and the snow it looked just as if he had been doing his Christmas shopping. He
was a Faun. And when he saw Lucy he gave such a start of surprise that he dropped all
his parcels.
"Goodness gracious me!" exclaimed the Faun.
CHAPTER TWO
WHAT LUCY FOUND THERE
"GOOD EVENING," said Lucy. But the Faun was so busy picking up its parcels that at
first it did not reply. When it had finished it made her a little bow.
"Good evening, good evening," said the Faun. "Excuse me - I don't want to be inquisitive

"You are in fact Human?"
"Of course I'm human," said Lucy, still a little puzzled.
"To be sure, to be sure," said the Faun. "How stupid of me! But I've never seen a Son of
Adam or a Daughter of Eve before. I am delighted. That is to say -" and then it stopped as
if it had been going to say something it had not intended but had remembered in time.
"Delighted, delighted," it went on. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tumnus."
"I am very pleased to meet you, Mr Tumnus," said Lucy.
"And may I ask, O Lucy Daughter of Eve," said Mr Tumnus, "how you have come into
Narnia?"
"Narnia? What's that?" said Lucy.

"Ah!" said Mr Tumnus in a rather melancholy voice, "if only I had worked harder at
geography when I was a little Faun, I should no doubt know all about those strange
countries. It is too late now."
"But they aren't countries at all," said Lucy, almost laughing. "It's only just back there - at
least - I'm not sure. It is summer there."
"Meanwhile," said Mr Tumnus, "it is winter in Narnia, and has been for ever so long, and
we shall both catch cold if we stand here talking in the snow. Daughter of Eve from the
far land of Spare Oom where eternal summer reigns around the bright city of War Drobe,
how would it be if you came and had tea with me?"
"Thank you very much, Mr Tumnus," said Lucy. "But I was wondering whether I ought

And really it was a wonderful tea. There was a nice brown egg, lightly boiled, for each of
them, and then sardines on toast, and then buttered toast, and then toast with honey, and
then a sugar-topped cake. And when Lucy was tired of eating the Faun began to talk. He
had wonderful tales to tell of life in the forest. He told about the midnight dances and
how the Nymphs who lived in the wells and the Dryads who lived in the trees came out to
dance with the Fauns; about long hunting parties after the milk-white stag who could give
you wishes if you caught him; about feasting and treasure-seeking with the wild Red
Dwarfs in deep mines and caverns far beneath the forest floor; and then about summer
when the woods were green and old Silenus on his fat donkey would come to visit them,
and sometimes Bacchus himself, and then the streams would run with wine instead of

"It's no good now, you know," said the Faun, laying down its flute and shaking its head at
her very sorrowfully.
"No good?" said Lucy, jumping up and feeling rather frightened. "What do you mean?
I've got to go home at once. The others will be wondering what has happened to me." But
a moment later she asked, "Mr Tumnus! Whatever is the matter?" for the Faun's brown
eyes had filled with tears and then the tears began trickling down its cheeks, and soon
they were running off the end of its nose; and at last it covered its face with its hands and
began to howl.
"Mr Tumnus! Mr Tumnus!" said Lucy in great distress. "Don't! Don't! What is the
matter? Aren' you well? Dear Mr Tumnus, do tell me what is wrong." But the Faun

"Oh - oh - you wouldn't say that if you knew," replied Mr Tumnus between his sobs. "No,
I'm a bad Faun. I don't suppose there ever was a worse Faun since the beginning of the
world."
"But what have you done?" asked Lucy.
"My old father, now," said Mr Tumnus; "that's his picture over the mantelpiece. He
would never have done a thing like this."
"A thing like what?" said Lucy.
"Like what I've done," said the Faun. "Taken service under the White Witch. That's what
I am. I'm in the pay of the White Witch."
"The White Witch? Who is she?"

"That's the worst of it," said Mr Tumnus with a deep groan. "I'm a kidnapper for her,
that's what I am. Look at me, Daughter of Eve. Would you believe that I'm the sort of
Faun to meet a poor innocent child in the wood, one that had never done me any harm,
and pretend to be friendly with it, and invite it home to my cave, all for the sake of lulling
it asleep and then handing it over to the White Witch?"
"No," said Lucy. "I'm sure you wouldn't do anything of the sort."
"But I have," said the Faun.
"Well," said Lucy rather slowly (for she wanted to be truthful and yet not be too hard on
him), "well, that was pretty bad. But you're so sorry for it that I'm sure you will never do
it again."

"Oh, but you won't, Mr Tumnus," said Lucy. "Yo won't, will you? Indeed, indeed you
really mustn't."
"And if I don't," said he, beginning to cry again "she's sure to find out. And she'll have
my tail cut off and my horns sawn off, and my beard plucked out, and she'll wave her
wand over my beautiful clove hoofs and turn them into horrid solid hoofs like wretched
horse's. And if she is extra and specially angry she'll turn me into stone and I shall be
only statue of a Faun in her horrible house until the four thrones at Cair Paravel are filled
and goodness knows when that will happen, or whether it will ever happen at all."
"I'm very sorry, Mr Tumnus," said Lucy. "But please let me go home."
"Of course I will," said the Faun. "Of course I've got to. I see that now. I hadn't known

They both got up and left the tea things on the table, and Mr Tumnus once more put up
his umbrella and gave Lucy his arm, and they went out into the snow. The journey back
was not at all like the journey to the Faun's cave; they stole along as quickly as they
could, without speaking a word, and Mr Tumnus kept to the darkest places. Lucy was
relieved when they reached the lamp-post again.
"Do you know your way from here, Daughter o Eve?" said Tumnus.
Lucy looked very hard between the trees and could just see in the distance a patch of light
that looked like daylight. "Yes," she said, "I can see the wardrobe door."
"Then be off home as quick as you can," said the Faun, "and - c-can you ever forgive me
for what meant to do?"

"What I said," answered Lucy. "It was just after breakfast when I went into the wardrobe,
and I've been away for hours and hours, and had tea, and all sorts of things have
happened."
"Don't be silly, Lucy," said Susan. "We've only just come out of that room a moment ago,
and you were there then."
"She's not being silly at all," said Peter, "she's just making up a story for fun, aren't you,
Lu? And why shouldn't she?"
"No, Peter, I'm not," she said. "It's - it's a magic wardrobe. There's a wood inside it, and
it's snowing, and there's a Faun and a Witch and it's called Narnia; come and see."
20: 2015/06/26(金)13:42 ID:jTG8Tz1L0(16/59) AAS
That day, when it came to the afternoon and there was still no sign of a break in the
weather, they decided to play hide-and-seek. Susan was "It" and as soon as the others
scattered to hide, Lucy went to the room where the wardrobe was. She did not mean to
hide in the wardrobe, because she knew that would only set the others talking again about
the whole wretched business. But she did want to have one more look inside it; for by this
time she was beginning to wonder herself whether Narnia and the Faun had not been a
dream. The house was so large and complicated and full of hiding-places that she thought
she would have time to have one look into the wardrobe and then hide somewhere else.
But as soon as she reached it she heard steps in the passage outside, and then there was
nothing for it but to jump into the wardrobe and hold the door closed behind her. She did
21: 2015/06/26(金)13:44 ID:jTG8Tz1L0(17/59) AAS
not shut it properly because she knew that it is very silly to shut oneself into a wardrobe,
even if it is not a magic one.
Now the steps she had heard were those of Edmund; and he came into the room just in
time to see Lucy vanishing into the wardrobe. He at once decided to get into it himself -
not because he thought it a particularly good place to hide but because he wanted to go on
teasing her about her imaginary country. He opened the door. There were the coats
hanging up as usual, and a smell of mothballs, and darkness and silence, and no sign of
Lucy. "She thinks I'm Susan come to catch her," said Edmund to himself, "and so she's
keeping very quiet in at the back." He jumped in and shut the door, forgetting what a very
foolish thing this is to do. Then he began feeling about for Lucy in the dark. He had

"Thank goodness," said Edmund, "the door must have swung open of its own accord." He
forgot all about Lucy and went towards the light, which he thought was the open door of
the wardrobe. But instead of finding himself stepping out into the spare room he found
himself stepping out from the shadow of some thick dark fir trees into an open place in
the middle of a wood.
There was crisp, dry snow under his feet and more snow lying on the branches of the
trees. Overhead there was pale blue sky, the sort of sky one sees on a fine winter day in
the morning. Straight ahead of him he saw between the tree-trunks the sun, just rising,
very red and clear. Everything was perfectly still, as if he were the only living creature in
that country. There was not even a robin or a squirrel among the trees, and the wood

Still there was no answer.
"Just like a girl," said Edmund to himself, "sulking somewhere, and won't accept an
apology." He looked round him again and decided he did not much like this place, and
had almost made up his mind to go home, when he heard, very far off in the wood, a
sound of bells. He listened and the sound came nearer and nearer and at last there swept
into sight a sledge drawn by two reindeer.
The reindeer were about the size of Shetland ponies and their hair was so white that even
the snow hardly looked white compared with them; their branching horns were gilded
and shone like something on fire when the sunrise caught them. Their harness was of
scarlet leather and covered with bells. On the sledge, driving the reindeer, sat a fat dwarf

CHAPTER FOUR
TURKISH DELIGHT
"BUT what are you?" said the Queen again. "Are you a great overgrown dwarf that has
cut off its beard?"
"No, your Majesty," said Edmund, "I never had a beard, I'm a boy."
"A boy!" said she. "Do you mean you are a Son of Adam?"
Edmund stood still, saying nothing. He was too confused by this time to understand what
the question meant.
"I see you are an idiot, whatever else you may be," said the Queen. "Answer me, once
and for all, or I shall lose my patience. Are you human?"

"Ha!" said the Queen, speaking more to herself than to him. "A door. A door from the
world of men! I have heard of such things. This may wreck all. But he is only one, and he
is easily dealt with." As she spoke these words she rose from her seat and looked Edmund
full in the face, her eyes flaming; at the same moment she raised her wand. Edmund felt
sure that she was going to do something dreadful but he seemed unable to move. Then,
just as he gave himself up for lost, she appeared to change her mind.
"My poor child," she said in quite a different voice, "how cold you look! Come and sit
with me here on the sledge and I will put my mantle round you and we will talk."
Edmund did not like this arrangement at all but he dared not disobey; he stepped on to the
sledge and sat at her feet, and she put a fold of her fur mantle round him and tucked it

26: 2015/06/26(金)13:52 ID:jTG8Tz1L0(22/59) AAS
The Queen took from somewhere among her wrappings a very small bottle which looked
as if it were made of copper. Then, holding out her arm, she let one drop fall from it on
the snow beside the sledge. Edmund saw the drop for a second in mid-air, shining like a
diamond. But the moment it touched the snow there was a hissing sound and there stood
a jewelled cup full of something that steamed. The dwarf immediately took this and
handed it to Edmund with a bow and a smile; not a very nice smile. Edmund felt much
better as he began to sip the hot drink. It was something he had never tasted before, very
sweet and foamy and creamy, and it warmed him right down to his toes.
"It is dull, Son of Adam, to drink without eating," said the Queen presently. "What would
you like best to eat?"

27: 2015/06/26(金)13:53 ID:jTG8Tz1L0(23/59) AAS
While he was eating the Queen kept asking him questions. At first Edmund tried to
remember that it is rude to speak with one's mouth full, but soon he forgot about this and
thought only of trying to shovel down as much Turkish Delight as he could, and the more
he ate the more he wanted to eat, and he never asked himself why the Queen should be so
inquisitive. She got him to tell her that he had one brother and two sisters, and that one of
his sisters had already been in Narnia and had met a Faun there, and that no one except
himself and his brother and his sisters knew anything about Narnia. She seemed
especially interested in the fact that there were four of them, and kept on coming back to
it. "You are sure there are just four of you?" she asked. "Two Sons of Adam and two
Daughters of Eve, neither more nor less?" and Edmund, with his mouth full of Turkish

"There's nothing special about them," said Edmund, "and, anyway, I could always bring
them some other time."
"Ah, but once you were in my house," said the Queen, "you might forget all about thern.
You would be enjoying yourself so much that you wouldn't want the bother of going to
fetch them. No. You must go back to your own country now and come to me another day,
with them, you understand. It is no good coming without them."
"But I don't even know the way back to my own country," pleaded Edmund. "That's
easy," answered the Queen. "Do you see that lamp?" She pointed with her wand and
Edmund turned and saw the same lamp-post under which Lucy had met the Faun.
"Straight on, beyond that, is the way to the World of Men. And now look the other way'-

"All right," said Edmund, "I see you were right and it is a magic wardrobe after all. I'll
say I'm sorry if you like. But where on earth have you been all this time? I've been
looking for you everywhere."
"If I'd known you had got in I'd have waited for you," said Lucy, who was too happy and
excited to notice how snappishly Edmund spoke or how flushed and strange his face was.
"I've been having lunch with dear Mr Tumnus, the Faun, and he's very well and the White
Witch has done nothing to him for letting me go, so he thinks she can't have found out
and perhaps everything is going to be all right after all."
"The White Witch?" said Edmund; "who's she?"
"She is a perfectly terrible person," said Lucy. "She calls herself the Queen of Narnia
