n after a rest of five or six hundred years） and the whole pany moved forward to the centre of the orchard where the phoenix sat in a tree and looked down upon them all； and at the foot of that tree were two thrones and in those two thrones a king and queen so great and beautiful that everyone bowed down before them。
and well they might； for these two were king frank and queen helen from whom all the most ancient kings of narnia and archenland are descended。 and tirian felt as you would feel if you were brought before adam and eve in all their glory。
about half an hour later … or it might have been half a hundred years later； for time there is not like time here … lucy stood with her dear friend； her oldest narnian friend； the faun tumnus； looking down over the wall of that garden； and seeing all narnia spread out below。 but when you looked down you found that this hill was much higher than you had thought： it sank down with shining cliffs； thousands of feet below them and trees in that lower world looked no bigger than grains of green salt。 then she turned inward again and stood with her back to the wall and looked at the garden。
〃i see；〃 she said at last； thoughtfully。 〃i see now。 this garden is like the stable。 it is far bigger inside than it was outside。鈥�
〃of course； daughter of eve；〃 said the faun。 〃the further up and the further in you go； the bigger everything gets。 the inside is larger than the outside。鈥�
lucy looked hard at the garden and saw that it was not really a garden but a whole world； with its own rivers and woods and sea and mountains。 but they were not strange： she knew them all。
〃i see；〃 she said。 〃this is still narnia； and more real and more beautiful then the narnia down below； just as it was more real and more beautiful than the narnia outside the stable door！ i see。。。 world within world； narnia within narnia。。。鈥�
〃yes；〃 said mr tumnus； 〃like an onion： except that as you go in and in； each circle is larger than the last。鈥�
and lucy looked this way and that and soon found that a new and beautiful thing had happened to her。 whatever she looked at； however far away it might be； once she had fixed her eyes steadily on it； became quite clear and close as if she were looking through a telescope。 she could see the whole southern desert and beyond it the great city of tashbaan： to eastward she could see cair paravel on the edge of the sea and the very window of the room that had once been her own。 and far out to sea she could discover the islands； islands after islands to the end of the world； and； beyond the end； the huge mountain which they had called aslans country。 but now she saw that it was part of a great chain of mountains which ringed round the whole world。 in front of her it seemed to e quite close。 then she looked to her left and saw what she took to be a great bank of
brightly…coloured cloud； cut off from them by a gap。 but she looked harder and saw that it was not a cloud at all but a real land。 and when she had fixed her eyes on one particular spot of it； she at once cried out； 〃peter！ edmund！ e and look！ e quickly。〃 and they came and looked； for their eyes also had bee like hers。
〃whys〃 exclaimed peter。 〃its england。 and thats the house itself … professor kirks old home in the country where all our adventures began！鈥�
〃i thought that house had been destroyed；〃 said edmund。
〃so it was；〃 said the faun。 〃but you are now looking at the england within england； the real england just as this is the real narnia。 and in that inner england no good thing is destroyed。鈥�
suddenly they shifted their eyes to another spot； and then peter and edmund and lucy gasped with amazement and shouted out and began waving： for there they saw their own father and mother； waving back at them across the great； deep valley。 it was like when you see people waving at you from the deck of a big ship when you are waiting on the quay to meet them。
〃how can we get at them？〃 said lucy。
〃that is easy；〃 said mr tumnus。 〃that country and this country … all the real countries … are only spurs jutting out from the great mountains of aslan。 we have only to walk along the ridge； upward and inward； till it joins on。 and listen！ there is king franks horn： we must all go up。鈥�
and soon they found themselves all walking together and a great； bright procession it was … up towards mountains higher than you could see in this world even if they were there to be seen。 but there was no snow on those mountains： there were forests and green slopes and sweet orchards and flashing waterfalls； one above the other； going up forever。
and the land they were walking on grew narrower all the time； with a deep valley on each side： and across that valley the land which was the real england grew nearer and nearer。
the light ahead was growing stronger。 lucy saw that a great series of many …coloured cliffs led up in front of them like a giants staircase。 and then she forgot everything else； because aslan himself was ing； leaping down from cliff to cliff like a living cataract of power and beauty。
and the very first person whom aslan called to him was puzzle the donkey。 you never saw a donkey look feebler and sillier than puzzle did as he walked up to aslan； and he looked； beside aslan； as small as a kitten looks beside a st bernard。 the lion bowed down his head and whispered something to puzzle at which his long ears went down； but then he said something else at which the ears perked up again。 the humans couldnt hear what he had said either time。 then aslan turned to them and said：
