The Lion, The Witch, and the Eye of Argon
Once there was a barbarian named Grignr. This story is about something that happened to him when he was in the Norgolian empire because of the fight. He was on a weather beaten trail in the heart of the country, miles away from anything. He was on the path with two soldiers and three heaving mounts. (Their names were Ivy, Margaret and Betty, but they do not come into the story much.) He himself was a very enthusiastic man with fiery red hair which grew over most of his face as well as on his head, and they attacked him almost at once; but on that afternoon when he fought them on the trail his right arm was so rippled-looking that the second soldier (who was the youngest) was a little afraid of him, and the first (who was the next youngest) wanted to live and had to keep his vital organs inside to hide it.
Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of the air-raids. They were sent to the house of an old Professor who lived in the heart of the country, ten miles from the nearest railway station and two miles from the nearest post office. He had no wife and he lived in a very large house with a housekeeper called Mrs. Macready and three servants. (Their names were Ivy, Margaret and Betty, but they do not come into the story much.) He himself was a very old man with shaggy white hair which grew over most of his face as well as on his head, and they liked him almost at once; but on the first evening when he came out to meet them at the front door he was so odd-looking that Lucy (who was the youngest) was a little afraid of him, and Edmund (who was the next youngest) wanted to laugh and had to keep on pretending he was blowing his nose to hide it.
