She was adamant about going up, but it was never suggested that they could all go, just assumed she had to go alone.MrBob said:8) Lucy was adamant about going up there and stated that the duffers were not exactly clever or brave so their opinion of this magician couldn't be accepted. It also seemed implicit that she wanted to do it alone and even Reep stated that it was her right to do as they asked if it meant to save them all.
Yes, Ramandu explains that when the travellers meet him.
Yes, I figured that too. In fact, he likely didn't have any sequels in mind at all when he wrote the first book. But I have heard that he based the Professor on someone named Mr (or Professor?) Kirkpatrick, who was something of an academic mentor to him in his youth. So I always assumed he was named in LWW, but on this reading I discovered that he wasn't named till later.I did notice that the adult Digory Kirke was not NAMED in the first-written book. I believe that this is simply because, at the time he set out, Mister Lewis did not expect to make the Professor any more important in any sequels than he was in Volume One.
Interesting hypothesis. I always assumed it was in the location where the Tree of Protection had once stood (though of course the text doesn't say this explicitly).The observation about the Wardrobe and the passage of time/paces to the Lamppost might be explained by the fact that the Wardrobe Door is not always there. I wonder if it didn't always show up in the same exact spot even if it was in the same general area.
That is also an interesting theory.Interesting hypothesis. I always assumed it was in the location where the Tree of Protection had once stood (though of course the text doesn't say this explicitly).
