The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe recap

During the Blitz in 1940, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie are evacuated from London to the country house of Professor Kirke. Playing hide and seek, Lucy steps through a wardrobe into Narnia, a snowy land where she meets the faun Mr. Tumnus. Narnia has been trapped in a hundred-year winter by the White Witch. Edmund follows Lucy in, meets the Witch, and is won over by enchanted sweets and her promise to make him a prince. When all four go in, the Beavers tell them of a prophecy that four humans will end the Witch's rule, and that the great lion Aslan has returned. Edmund slips away to the Witch, who imprisons him. The others meet Father Christmas, who gives them weapons, and Aslan's army rescues Edmund. The Witch claims Edmund's life as a traitor by Narnia's ancient law, and Aslan secretly gives himself up in his place and is killed on the Stone Table.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian recap

A year after their adventure, the Pevensies are pulled from a London train station back to Narnia, where 1,300 years have passed. The Telmarines, human invaders, have conquered the land and driven the talking animals into hiding. Prince Caspian flees his castle when his uncle Miraz, who killed Caspian's father to take the throne, has a son of his own and wants Caspian dead. Caspian blows Susan's old horn, which summons the Pevensies. With the dwarf Trumpkin, the Pevensies join Caspian and the Narnians, including the mouse Reepicheep. Peter and Caspian clash over who should lead, and Peter's night raid on Miraz's castle fails, killing many Narnians. The dwarf Nikabrik and others try to bring back the White Witch, and Edmund shatters her ice before Caspian gives in. Lucy keeps seeing Aslan, but the others do not believe her.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader recap

Edmund and Lucy are staying with their unpleasant cousin Eustace in Cambridge when a painting of a ship floods the room and pulls all three into the sea of Narnia. They are rescued by King Caspian on the Dawn Treader, who is searching for seven lords his uncle exiled. At the Lone Islands, they free people being sold to a green mist that takes them away, and they learn that the seven lords' swords must be laid on Aslan's Table to defeat an evil force on the Dark Island. On an island of invisible creatures, Lucy reads a spell to become as beautiful as Susan and sees that it would erase her. On another island, the greedy Eustace is turned into a dragon, and he becomes a friend to the crew, especially Reepicheep. The mist tempts each of them with what they want most.
