The Magician's Nephew
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, immediately wants to kill him but her magic powers do not work so she needs a weapon. She improvises by throwing something at his head and the thing she happens to have in her hand at the time is a piece from a lamppost she'd taken from London. It falls to the ground without having any effect on Aslan when it hits him and does not appear to have hurt him at all. The fresh new fertile ground of Narnia causes anything that lands on it to sprout and grow, so the fragment sprouts into a full lamppost that shines day and night. The site of the lamppost is also where small trees of gold and silver grew from some dropped coins that were also brought from London by Mr Ketterly, Digory's wicked uncle. Those gold and silver trees would later be used to make King Frank's and Queen Helen's crowns, and they were also where Digory planted the Tree of Protection that kept Jadis away for many years.

Fledging is the stage in a volant animal's life between hatching or parturition and flight. This term is most frequently applied to birds, but is also used for bats. For altricial birds, those that spend more time in vulnerable condition in the nest, the nestling and fledging stage can be the same. For precocial birds, those that develop and leave the nest quickly, a short nestling stage precedes a longer fledging stage.

Narnia is a fantasy world created by C. S. Lewis as the primary location for his series of seven fantasy novels for children, The Chronicles of Narnia. The world is so called after the country of Narnia, in which much of the action of the Chronicles takes place.
Tumnus is a fictional character in the Narnia books, written by C.S. Lewis. He is featured prominently in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and also appears, with a lesser role, in The Horse and His Boy and The Last Battle. He is close friends with Lucy Pevensie and is the first creature she meets in Narnia, as well as the first Narnian to be introduced in the series. Lewis said that the first Narnia story, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, all came to him from a single picture he had in his head of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels through a snowy wood. In that way, Tumnus was the initial inspiration for the entire Narnia series.
Peter Pevensie is a fictional character in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia book series. Peter appears in three of the seven books; as a child and a principal character in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, and as an adult in The Last Battle. He is only mentioned in The Horse and His Boy in which he is away on the northern frontier fighting giants and in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in which he is studying under the tutelage of Professor Kirke.
