 Section A

Text A

Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story is about
something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of
the air-raids. They were sent to the house of an old Professor who lived in the heart of the country, ten
miles from the nearest railway station and two miles from the nearest post office. He had no wife and
he lived in a very large house with a housekeeper called Mrs. Macready and three servants. (Their
names were Ivy, Margaret and Betty, but they do not come into the story much.) He himself was a
very old man with shaggy white hair, which grew over most of his face as well as on his head, and
they liked him almost at once; but on the first evening when he came out to meet them at the front door
he was so odd- looking that Lucy (who was the youngest) was a little afraid of him, and Edmund (who
was the next youngest) wanted to laugh and had to keep on pretending he was blowing his nose to hide
it.

As soon as they had said good night to the Professor and gone upstairs on the first night, the boys came
into the girls’ room and they all talked it over.

[OR]

Yes, this extract can be considered an example of children’s literature. There are several reasons
supporting this:

Child Protagonists
The main characters are children—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. This is a common characteristic
of children’s literature, as young readers often find it easier to relate to stories about other children.

Adventure and Fantasy Elements
The setup hints at an adventure. The children are sent away from London during the war to a
mysterious old house in the countryside. Such settings often precede magical or extraordinary events,
which are hallmarks of children's literature.
