I just began reading LWW again last night in preparation for seeing the movie this weekend. When I started to see all the promotional stuff for the movie one of the first things that hit me was how old Peter and Susan seemed.
I've been looking for it in the book as I go, but I have not seen any mention of the children's ages yet. Perhaps I've missed it or they talk about it in one of the later books, but I do not remember. I've read the series a few times, but the last time was over five years ago so I am a little rusty on some of the details. For some reason I was under the impression that Peter was about 13 and Susan about 12 in LWW, but the actor who is playing him in the film is about 17 so that made me think that perhaps Peter is older than I thought.
Actually, I think an older Peter and Susan would make more sense. I find it a tad more plausable to have a year old high king leading an army than a year old king. So, how old are they? Thanks in advance. Namaste Guest. There's another thread where people ask that question and I cited the answer according to a book I have here. It says that Peter is 13, Susan is 12, Edmund is 10, and Lucy is 8. Thanks for replying.
Those were the ages I originally had in my head as well; although for the life of me I could not remember where I found them. Are they in LWW? I suppose my eyes could have glossed over it when I re-read the book last week.
I don't think they are listed, but I have a Narnia trivia book that was translated into German, and that's where I found the information. Lenny New member. Namaste said:.

There, Aslan greeted the Pevensies as the future king and queens of Narnia and was very grave at the news of their brother's betrayal. Lucy and Susan were sent away to rest, refresh themselves, and change into Narnian dresses. While alone, the sisters were attacked by Maugrim. Lucy and Susan climbed a tree, as Peter, Aslan, and many soldiers arrived to rescue them. Though the first wolf was slain by Peter, a second one escaped and was followed by several Narnian soldiers.
The next morning, the soldiers returned, bringing Edmund from the enemy's camp. Lucy welcomed him back and forgave him easily for his treachery. Later that day, however, Aslan received a visit from the White Witch, who called upon an ancient law that gave her a right to Edmund's blood. Lucy waited in fear, as Aslan debated privately with the Witch, and was overjoyed when the Witch renounced her claim on Edmund's life.
She was, however, one of the first to notice that afterward, Aslan had become very despondent. Later, the camp was moved from the Stone Table to the Fords of Beruna. Aslan's behavior affected Lucy so strongly that she and Susan were unable to sleep, so they snuck out of their pavilion, found Aslan leaving the camp, and decided to follow him.
He soon became aware of their presence but allowed them to walk with him, giving him comfort. Several times he stumbled or began to weep until at long last he stopped and ordered them to remain hidden. Both princesses did so, hiding in the bushes, and watched, as he proceeded up to the Stone Table itself, where they saw the Witch Witch and all her army gathered. The sisters witnessed Aslan give himself up to her, and wept, as they watched him tortured, mocked, and finally killed.
After the Witch's triumphant departure, both girls went to Aslan's body, and remained with him all night, weeping, and untying his bonds. Lucy and Susan decided to send Dryads the message of Aslan's death to the army. At dawn, both sisters were getting ready to leave, until they heard a loud cracking sound behind them, and turned to find the Stone Table broken in two, and Aslan's body gone. A moment later, both were overjoyed to find Aslan alive again by the power and law of the Deeper Magic.
The three celebrated, and Aslan bade both girls climb onto his back, and carried them with all speed to the White Witch's Castle. There, they found many victims and prisoners of the Witch, including Mr. Tumnus, who Lucy begged Aslan to help. Aslan did so, freeing each of them from their stone prison with his breath. He then led all of them to Beruna, to join the battle , in which Peter and the army were already engaged. Upon arriving there, Lucy fought briefly, and then quickly rushed to the sidelines, where she found Edmund gravely wounded.
Using her magic cordial, she healed him at once and then witnessed his knighting, after which she spent her time healing many of the wounded soldiers.
The next day, at the royal castle of Cair Paravel , Lucy and her siblings were crowned Narnia's new monarchs, thus fulfilling the ancient prophecy , and officially ending Jadis's reign. This took place in the spring of NT. The Pevensies' reign lasted fifteen years and was forever known as the Golden Age of Narnia. Lucy grew up to become a sweet and beloved queen, dubbed Queen Lucy the Valiant by her people.
She remained close friends with Mr. Not only a lovely lady and an accomplished queen, but she was also a fierce warrior and a skilled archer. In , Narnia's ally, Archenland, was under attack from Rabadash , a Calormene prince. She and her brother, King Edmund, rode with the Narnian army to wage battle for their defense.
She was present during the trial of Prince Rabadash , and it was she who initially suggested the sentence that King Lune eventually settled on. In NT, Mr. Tumnus brought news that the magical White Stag had returned to Narnia. Lucy and her siblings set out on a hunt, in the course of which they got lost in the woods.
Stumbling through the woods, they found themselves in England again, back on the other side of the magic wardrobe. The siblings discovered that due to magic, their fifteen years in Narnia had taken up no time at all in England, and they were again children in the Professor's house.
They told only the professor of their adventure, and he, in turn, admitted that he too had once been to Narnia. The children were slightly dismayed to be told that the wardrobe had sealed, and would no longer carry them between the worlds, but was hopeful when the professor told them that they would get back to Narnia again someday, though not by the wardrobe. A year later, at the age of nine, Lucy set out for her first year at a girl's boarding school Saint Finbars', in the Prince Caspian film with Susan.
While en route to school, all four children felt a peculiar tug, recognized as magic, and were within moments drawn out of Earth and back in Narnia. The four arrived on a strange beach, next to a forest, on what they soon found, by exploring, to be an island.
Having no way to get off the island and onto the nearby mainland, the four soon found the ruins of an old castle, where they chose to stay for the night. It was during the night that Susan found a gold chessman that they all realized was one of their own from their reign in Narnia.
After a debate, they concluded that they were in fact in a very changed Narnia, in the ruins of their old castle, Cair Paravel. To prove their hypothesis that time between the worlds was non-concurrent, the four uncovered their old Treasure Room.
From the chamber, Lucy retrieved her old magic gifts, and the four made themselves comfortable. The next morning, the siblings were near the channel that divided the island from the mainland, when they spotted two men in a boat, about to drown a dwarf. After a hasty rescue, Lucy cuts the dwarf's bounds with her dagger. Though skeptical, he explained to them that years had passed in Narnia, setting the year at Narnia had been invaded by Telmarines a few hundred years ago, who had forced the Narnians to live in hiding and had caused the trees and rivers to fall into a deep sleep.
Recently, a Telmarine prince called Caspian had fled from his people and had agreed to free the Narnians if they made him king. He had, the dwarf explained, blown Susan's ancient horn , to summon help, sending out the dwarf as a scout to bring back whatever help came.
The dwarf, called Trumpkin , set out with them to meet Caspian. All five were forced to journey for some time, getting lost repeatedly due to the changes in topography.
After being foiled in their attempt to cross the River Rush , the five turned to retrace their steps, until Lucy looked across the river and spotted Aslan showing her the way. Though she was overjoyed, her siblings refused to believe her, and after a vote, chose to go down the river, to find a better crossing. Lucy reluctantly followed them. After some time, they were again foiled, by running into a Telmarine outpost, and had to follow Lucy's original advice and turn around.
Night fell, and they were forced to camp before they could go on. During the night, Lucy heard a voice calling her, and rose to walk through the nearby trees, which rose and began to dance.
Eventually, Lucy emerged into a clearing, finding Aslan waiting for her. After a joyful embrace, Lucy woke up in the morning, realizing it was only a dream. Lucy walked around the forest until she sees a minotaur and mistakes it as Aslan, Peter followed her and told her to stay quiet while he creeps to the minotaur until he's attacked by Caspian.
When they reached Aslan's How, they came up with a plan to raid Miraz's Castle that night. Lucy did not agree and suggest they wait for Aslan but Peter grew impatient and the night raid plan proceeded. After the night raid and many losses, Lucy healed Trumpkin.
Lucy also helped Trumpkin kill Nikabrik when he, a hag and werewolf tried to resurrect the White Witch. When the sisters were riding in the woods, Telmarines followed, so Susan decided to let Lucy go on alone while she stays and fight the soldiers.
Later on, Lucy was in pursuit of a soldier when she saw a lion figure approaching and made the soldier run away. Lucy realized it was Aslan, who told her things never happen the same way twice when she asked why she couldn't come roaring in save them like before.
Aslan woke up the Dancing Trees from their 1,year slumber. Lucy observes the River god destroying the bridge. Eventually, they reached the bridge of Beruna, which Aslan destroyed, with the help of the River God. With their escape route cut off, the Telmarine army surrendered, and Prince Caspian was brought forth to meet Aslan.
Lucy witnessed his knighting and met and magically healed many soldiers in the Narnian army, including Reepicheep the High Mouse. In the aftermath, the four siblings were given rooms and amenities in Prince Caspian's castle. A few days later, Aslan had a door set up in the meadow, summoning all the people to a meeting. There, he told the Telmarines that they were descended from seafarers from the world of Earth, and if they wished, he would send them back to that world through the door.
Taking the lead, Peter and Susan explained to Lucy and Edmund that Aslan was sending them home as well. Lucy bade a tearful farewell to Narnia, and Aslan, and stepped through the door back into England. In England again, Lucy spent her first year at boarding school and made several friends while there. In the summer of , she and Edmund were sent to stay with their aunt and uncle while their parents went away on a trip. It was during this time that they, along with their cousin Eustace , were brought back into Narnia through a painting.
The three landed in the sea and were quickly hoisted up onto a ship. Lucy was the first to come on board, and the first to recognize one of its occupants, their friend King Caspian. He quickly introduced her to the ship, the Dawn Treader , its Narnian-Telmarine crew, and its purpose; to find seven missing lords of Narnia, and to explore the seas to the end of the world, in the hopes of finding a way to Aslan's Country. Lucy was thereafter given Caspian's cabin to stay in and was permitted to wear his clothes.
Her magic cordial and dagger, also on board the ship, was returned to her, which she used to cure Eustace of seasickness. Shortly after their arrival, the Dawn Treader came into sight of the Lone Islands.
Lucy wanted to walk on the island Felimath , which she remembered from her time as queen, and Caspian agreed, sending the ship on to the other side of the island while Lucy, Edmund, Caspian, Eustace walked. On the way, however, they were kidnapped by slave traders, and Lucy and Eustace were taken to the slave market with Edmund and Caspian threw in the dungeon. The following morning, they were taken to Narrowhaven to be sold in a slave market.
Lucy, being well-bred and hard-working, was purchased quickly, but freed almost instantly when Reepicheep and the crew arrived, announcing his kingship, and shut down the trade. After three weeks, the Dawn Treader finally set out again and had several days of fine weather.
It did not last, however, and soon a storm came up that lasted twelve days, causing damage to the ship, which required them to land on a strange island. Before they could even begin their repairs, Eustace went missing.
A search party was sent out, but no sign of him was found, until the following morning when a dragon flew into the camp, landing on the beach between the crew and the ship. They were wary until Lucy saw that the dragon was crying, and offered to heal its wounded leg.
Through a series of questions, Lucy and the others worked out that the dragon was a spellbound Eustace. After the spell on Eustace was lifted, the ship sailed on until a few days later, when a Sea Serpent attacked, winding itself around the Dawn Treader , to crush it. The crew successfully escaped and sailed on to yet another strange island, where they decided to walk. On the island, at the bottom of a nearby pool, was a statue that looked to be made of solid gold. They discovered that anything that touched the water in the pool was instantly turned to gold.
Caspian, Edmund, and Lucy began to quarrel until they all spotted Aslan on a nearby hill. Realizing the island was heavily enchanted, they all returned to the ship. The next island that the Dawn Treader came to was surprisingly modern. As the others headed inland along the path, Lucy stayed behind a moment and heard a strange thumping sound.
