Faun Tummus had entertained Lucy upon her first visit to Narnia. The following note was found by the children. It was affixed to Faun Tummus’s home when they attempted to visit Tummus on their current visit to Narnia.
“’The former occupant of these premises, the Faun Tummus is under arrest and awaiting his trial on a charge of High Treason against her Imperial Majesty Jadis, Queen of Narnia. Chatelaine of Cair Paravel, Empress of the Lone Islands, etc., also of comforting her said Majesty’s enemies, harboring spies and fraternizing with humans.'
Signed Maugrim, Captain of the Secret PoliceLong Live the Queen”
The queen is no queen at all but the white witch Jadis herself. Jadis has supplanted the old rule of Narnia and has installed herself as queen. She has made an enchantment over the whole country so that it is always winter and never Christmas.
