[[File:3774.jpg|left]]Polly 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. Polly is on the train with the others to meet [[Peter Pevensie|Peter]] and [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]] when it crashes. Immediately after that, they find themselves in another world where Polly realizes that she and [[Digory Kirke|Digory]] are younger. Polly meets [[Tirian]] when [[Tirian]] throws himself through the stable door, and witnesses night falling on Narnia. Polly goes "further up and further in" with the others as [[Aslan]] leads them to His country. | [[File:3774.jpg|left]]Polly and the other friends of Narnia are gathered together on Earth when King [[Tirian]] suddenly appears before them.

| + | ==About Polly== | ||
| + | Polly is a very sensible and careful girl, though not without a taste for adventure. She enthusiastically accompanies [[Digory Kirke|Digory]] on their exploration of the attics in their row of houses. When [[Digory Kirke|Digory]] wants to "strike the bell and bide the danger" in Charn, Polly's innate common sense asserts itself as she tries to stop him from doing such a foolhardy thing. Although Polly is cautious, she takes full part in their adventures. When she and [[Digory Kirke|Digory]] are on their quest to bring the Apple of Life back to [[Aslan]], Polly has the idea to plant a toffee in the ground, thus providing their breakfast the next morning. Later Polly becomes an "aunt" to the Pevensies by virtue of their common experiences in Narnia. | ||
