Take a trip to Narnia with the Lowry this Christmas. Guided by a friendly robin, the children wander into the woods, and meet Mr. Beaver brings them back to his home, where he explains that the children cannot do anything to save Tumnus.
The only thing the children can do is join Mr. Beaver on a journey to see Aslan a lion. Aslan appears to be a king or god figure in Narnia. The children are all pleasantly enchanted by the name Aslan, except for Edmund, who is horrified by the sound of it. Beaver, Peter, Susan, and Lucy plot to meet Aslan at the Stone Table the following day, but they soon notice that Edmund has disappeared.
Meanwhile, Edmund searches for the White Witch to warn her of Aslan's arrival and of the Beavers' plan. The Witch is enraged to hear that Aslan is in Narnia and immediately begins plotting to kill the children. The Witch wants to avoid an ancient prophecy that says that four humans will someday reign over Narnia and overthrow her evil regime.
The children and the Beavers, meanwhile, rush to reach the Stone Table before the Witch. As they travel, wonderful seasonal changes occur. First they meet Santa Claus, or Father Christmas, who explains that the Witch's spell of "always winter and never Christmas" has ended.
The enchanted winter snow melts and the children see signs of spring. Simultaneously, the Witch drags Edmund toward the Stone Table and treats him very poorly. Once spring arrives, the Witch cannot use her sledge anymore, so she cannot reach the Stone Table before the children. When the other three Pevensies meet Aslan, they are awed by him, but they quickly grow more comfortable in his presence.
They love him immediately, despite their fear. Aslan promises to do all that he can to save Edmund. He takes Peter aside to show him the castle where he will be king. As they are talking, they hear Susan blowing the magic horn that Father Christmas gave her to her, signaling that she is in danger.
Aslan sends Peter to help her. Arriving on the scene, Peter sees a wolf attacking Susan, and stabs it to death with the sword given him by Father Christmas. She is the archetypal Stone Mother who kills her children. In contrast to the starving and repression the Witch forces on Narnia, the good characters find ways to have feasts and communal meals to create happiness and solidarity.
The tea Lucy has with Mr. Tumnus, the dinner the children have at the Beavers, the Christmas feasts, and the food shared with Aslan in his pavilion are some of the most endearing scenes in the book.
The meal at the Beavers in their house on the frozen dam is a rescue mission, for the children are lost in a dark wood in the snow. Beaver is one of the helpful animals, who takes in humans and looks after them. He and Mrs. Beaver serve an elaborate meal of fried fish, potatoes, milk, marmalade roll and tea, which the children help prepare.
Afterwards they tell stories of Aslan. Beaver packs food for their long ordeal in the winter trek to find Aslan. Food is a symbol of fellowship and abundance of spirit. It is the impulse to share with others. When the Witch finds the animals celebrating Christmas with a feast given to them by Father Christmas, she is infuriated to think of their joy.
