The protagonists are all children from the real world, magically transported to Narnia, where many are called upon by the lion Aslan to protect Narnia from evil and restore the throne to its rightful line. Lewis's exploration of themes (not usually present in children's literature) include religion, race, and gender Lucy, Edmund, and their cousin travel back to Narnia through a painting where they board a ship named "The Dawn Treader."
