==About Edmund==
 
-
Edmund is one of the most dynamic characters in the series, as he undergoes a change from spiteful and selfish to repentant and just. Not wanting to admit that [[Lucy Pevensie|Lucy]] had been right, Edmund lies and says that he and [[Lucy Pevensie|Lucy]] had only been pretending that they visited Narnia. Because of his betrayal, Edmund is not present when the Pevensies meet [[Father Christmas]], and so he does not receive any gifts. But when he is rescued from the [[White Witch]] by [[Aslan]]'s followers, Edmund repents of his treachery and is eventually knighted by [[Aslan]]. Because of his experience, Edmund is able to relate to [[Eustace Clarence Scrubb|Eustace]]'s conversion in ''The Voyage of the Dawn Treader''. "Between ourselves," Edmund tells him, "you haven’t been as bad as I was on my first trip to Narnia. You were only an ass, but I was a traitor."

[[File:3774.jpg|left]]Edmund and the other friends of Narnia are gathered together on Earth when King [[Tirian]] suddenly appears before them. They all sense that something is wrong, and decide to recover the magic rings so that [[Eustace Clarence Scrubb|Eustace]] and [[Jill Pole|Jill]] can go back to Narnia to help. Edmund and [[Peter Pevensie|Peter]] go to [[Digory Kirke|Digory]]'s old house in London and dig up the rings. Edmund is with [[Peter Pevensie|Peter]] on the train platform when the train crashes. Immediately after that, they find themselves in another world. Edmund meets [[Tirian]] when [[Tirian]] throws himself through the stable door, and witnesses night falling on Narnia. Edmund goes "further up and further in" with the others as [[Aslan]] leads them to His country.
