Lantern Waste - The Magician's Nephew

The Magician's Nephew

The place where Digory, Polly, Frank the cabman, Strawberry the horse, Jadis and Uncle Andrew first enter the uncreated Narnia would become Lantern Waste. Jadis, angry and afraid at the sight of Aslan, throws a piece from a lamppost she'd taken from London at the Lion's head; it falls to the ground without having any effect on its target. Later the new ground of Narnia causes the bar to grow into a lamppost that shines day and night. This is also where small trees of gold and silver grew that would be used to make King Frank's and Queen Helen's crowns, and where Digory planted the Tree of Protection that kept Jadis away for many years.
