Description
When Lucy hides in a wardrobe in the Professor's house, she finds herself in Lantern Waste, where she meets Tumnus the Faun. Later her brother Edmund finds his way in and meets the White Witch there.
Years later, the four children, now Kings and Queens of Narnia, are hunting in Lantern Waste when they come across the spot where they first entered Narnia and stumble back into the Professor's house in England.
The place where Digory, Polly, Frank the cabman, Strawberry the horse, Jadis and Uncle Andrew first enter the uncreated Narnia would become Lantern Waste. Jadis, angry and afraid at the sight of Aslan, throws a piece from a lamppost she'd taken from London at the Lion's head; it falls to the ground without having any effect on its target. Later the new ground of Narnia causes the bar to grow into a lamppost that shines day and night. This is also where small trees of gold and silver grew that would be used to make King Frank's and Queen Helen's crowns, and where Digory planted the Tree of Protection that kept Jadis away for many years.

I absolutely love this. Perfectly captures what I always imagined walking through the back of the wardrobe would look like. A beautiful piece in my library! ♥️

Thank you all for the comments! I have not been in the snow for a year. I am in the Philippines for 9, months then back to the US in June. I miss the snow "just a little bit".
