LUCY is the youngest of the four Pevensie children, evacuated from their home during the London Blitz of the Second World War to Professor Kirke's house in the country.

Although Lucy is the youngest, she has a very strong sense of right and wrong, and would never tell a lie. Like Susan, she is soft-hearted, and feels very sorry for poor Mr. Tumnus when he tells her that the White Witch might turn him to stone. But she has great faith in Aslan, and a very special bond with him.

"Can't you get to sleep either?" said Susan.
"No," said Lucy. "I thought you were asleep. I say, Susan!"
"What?"
"I've a most horrible feeling - as if something were hanging over us."
"Have you? Because, as a matter of fact, so have I.
'Something about Aslan," said Lucy. "Either some dreadful thing is going to happen to him, or something dreadful that he's going to do ... Susan! Let's go outside and have a look round. We might see him."
