The lamp post got into Narnia in "The Magician's Nephew," I think. In the original publication, that was the 6th book out of 7-- but when they reprinted the Chronicles of Narnia they put the books in the order stuff happens instead of the order in which they were written. Magician's Nephew is about the guy who owns the house with the wardrobe in it, and about the very beginning of Narnia.

Well if you read "The magician's nephew" the preqeul to "the lion" it was about the creation of narnia and Jadis "the witch" came in from another world was trying to kill digory "the proffesser" she throws a lamp post on this new world and then when aslan brings everything to life the lamp post grows there like a tree.

I read the books as a kid and again after the movie was released. It's just a lamp post; it's not magical or anything. But when they see it, they know the wardrobe is near and they can go back to their own world.

It's just a landmark that allows the kids to go back and forth from Narnia to the "real world." I guess so they don't lose their way...

in the first book the lampost was "planted" to show the begining of narnia. it starts from there and ends at the castle by the beach

It's where everything started. I guess it's where the story of Narnia, the fantasy began.

i don`t think it means anything
the lamp post is their to guide the kids back and forth through their world and the magical world,,,,
the book was kind of based on the bible so maybe it has something to do with that? although i don`t read the bible so i wouldn`t know

It's a marker, indicating the way back to the other reality.

I've always thought it meant seeing a beacon of light in a dark place, because when the kids first entered it was like they were escaping from the world. But idk. Cool question!
