Ch. 10 - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe - "The Spell Begins to Break" (#12)

In language eerily similar to Wilfred Owen's and Ernest Hemingway's descriptions of WWI -- a horrific experience Lewis knew all too well -- the narrative follows the children's arduous trek as they flee the dam and the White Witch's impending arrival. Yet, huddled close in their small cave, the children and the beavers suddenly discover they are not alone as they are met by perhaps the most unlikely of characters.
