During World War II, many children were evacuated from London to protect them from the dangers of bombings and air raids. The British government initiated this evacuation to ensure their safety and well-being, as cities were frequent targets for enemy attacks. Children were sent to the countryside or other safer areas, often living with foster families or in temporary accommodations, to minimize their exposure to wartime violence. This effort aimed to safeguard the younger generation while allowing parents to contribute to the war effort.

Do the children from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe have parents?

Yes, I think so. I don't have the book at hand, but if I remember correctly, the children were sent away by their parents to the professor's home, for their protection. The book takes place during World War II, and the kids are English. At that time, Great Britain and especially London was under heavy bombing by the Nazis, so a lot of parents sent their children away someplace safer.
