<Ul> <Li> The Professor is a kindly old gentleman who takes the Pevensie children in when they are evacuated from London . He is the first to believe that Lucy did indeed visit a land called Narnia . He tries to convince the others logically that she didn't make it up . The book hints that he knows more of Narnia than he lets on . He is identified in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader as Professor Kirke, and appears as a young boy, Digory Kirke, a main character in the prequel, in which he witnesses Aslan's creation of Narnia . Although never explicitly stated, there are minor parallels between himself and Aslan on the smaller scale of the house in Dorset; in that he is rarely seen, can be sought for impartial wisdom, provides a sense of stability, and sometimes cannot be found . </Li> <Li> Mrs. Macready is the housekeeper for the Professor and takes it upon herself to guide the tour groups . Although never explicitly stated, there are minor parallels between herself and the White Witch, albeit on the smaller scale; for example, she effectively rules the country house in the absence of the Professor (terrifyingly so in the imagination of a young girl torn from her home and mother). The Pevensies certainly see her as an antagonist and dub her "The Macready". She is stated to be not very fond of children, imposes strict rules on their behavior, and disturbs their peace with the tours . </Li> </Ul> <Li> The Professor is a kindly old gentleman who takes the Pevensie children in when they are evacuated from London .
