Finding magic at the back of the wardrobe
Young children worldwide dream about monsters hiding under their beds and magical worlds that can be found at the bottom of their gardens and in the back of their wardrobes. Before you go looking into the wardrobes that you had installed by a Fitted Wardrobes Hampshire company like Lamco Design it is probably worth mentioning that a lot of these magical dreams are fuelled by the many stories that portray the magic in our furniture such as ‘The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe’ written by CS Lewis.
The story centres around an old wardrobe that is found on the upper floors of an older gentleman’s house. A family of four children (two brothers & two sisters) are evacuated during World War two to live with the gentleman and his housekeeper, out in the country. He isn’t a very chatty man and actually prefers that the children entertain themselves and it is during a game of hide and seek that the youngest daughter stumbles across the wardrobe.
It isn’t long after stepping into the wardrobe that she realises that there is a whole world hidden in there to be explored. The story sees her come across a faun who helps keep her safe on her travels, the white witch who intends on stealing the country for herself and, of course, the lion who keeps order and rules over the land. The story has been told time and time again to children and it is no wonder, with a world like that hiding in our wardrobes, the fascination with these magical fantasy worlds continues.
