ng　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！”

〃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。”

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。”

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：
