Falling for Turkish delight, Edmund becomes her informant. The rest of the children, Susan, Lucy, and Peter, work with Aslan, the lion, to free the country. Aslan surrenders his life to the White Witch for Edmund’s. Peter leads the army again the witch’s forces. Edmund atones for his misplaced allegiance during the battle for Narnia. Aslan rises from the dead. He releases all from their stone jails. The children mature as the Kings and Queens of Narnia. When they find their old wardrobe, they pop back into their own land and time.
