Narnia - The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe - SpanishChapter 1 - Lucy investigates the wardrobe


HABÍA UNA VEZ CUATRO NIÑOS CUYOS nombres eran Pedro, Susana, Edmundo y Lucía. Esta historia relata lo que les sucedió cuando, durante la guerra y a causa de los bombardeos, fueron enviados lejos de Londres a la casa 'de un viejo profesor. Éste vivía en medio del campo, a diez millas de la estación más cercana y 'a dos millas del correo más próximo. El profesor no era casado, así es que un ama de llaves, la señora Macready, y tres sirvientas atendían su casa. (Las sirvientas se llamaban Ivy, Margarita y Betty, pero ellas no intervienen mucho en esta historia.)
