==About Peter==
 
-
Peter is the eldest of the four Pevensies and the High King of Narnia. As the High King, Peter leads both his siblings and the country of Narnia well — though not without occasional errors. It is interesting to note that in Peter's two trips to Narnia, he confesses a failure to [[Aslan]] in their initial meeting. In ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'', he expresses his guilt to [[Aslan]] after [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]]'s betrayal, saying, "That was partly my fault, [[Aslan]]. I was angry with him and I think that helped him to go wrong." In ''Prince Caspian'', when [[Aslan]] finally becomes visible to all the Pevensies and [[Trumpkin]], Peter drops to his knees and says, "Oh, [[Aslan]], I'm so glad. And I'm so sorry. I've been leading them wrong ever since we started and especially yesterday morning." But like any great leader, Peter learns from his mistakes and is able to lead Narnia to great victories. His reign is known as the Golden Age of Narnia.

===~ The Last Battle ~ (1956)===
[[File:3774.jpg|left]]Peter and the other friends of Narnia are gathered together on Earth when King [[Tirian]] suddenly appears before them. Peter tries to speak to him, but [[Tirian]] fades away before he can respond. 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. Peter and [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]] go to [[Digory Kirke|Digory]]'s old house in London and, disguised as workmen, dig up the rings. Peter then sends a message to [[Eustace Clarence Scrubb|Eustace]] and [[Jill Pole|Jill]] telling them to meet him so he could give them the rings. But as their train is approaching, Peter notices that the train seemed to be taking the bend too quickly. Then there is a frightful roar, and Peter and the others find themselves in another world. High King Peter welcomes [[Tirian]] to their company after [[Tirian]] throws himself through the stable door. When night falls on Narnia, [[Aslan]] asks Peter to close the door. Peter does so, effectively ending the Old Narnia. Peter goes "further up and further in" with the others as [[Aslan]] leads them to His country.
