Lewis said after imagining the picture of the fawn, he wanted to write a story to go with it. He said this was the start of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe".
The book itself is sometimes described as a series of pictures, with words that guide the reader from one image to the next.

Answer: Digory
Digory and Polly were with Aslan when Narnia was created, and Digory took home an apple from a special tree from that land. This apple cured his mother. The core was planted in the garden, and when the resulting tree fell down many years later, he had it made into a wardrobe. It was through this wardrobe that Lucy found Narnia.

Answer: The Fox
The White Witch asked where they had gotten their feast, and they had to reply that Father Christmas had given it to them. Which, of course, meant that her spell over Narnia was fading because it was supposed to be always winter but never Christmas.

Answer: Edmund
He was such a brat in this book.
From Quiz: Narnia-- Lion , Witch and Wardrobe
Answer: His friends hated it.
From a letter to an acquaintance: "I have tried [a children's story] myself, but it was, by the unanimous verdict of my friends, so bad that I destroyed it." ("The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, Volume II") It's unknown how much, if anything, it was like "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe".
Lewis routinely got feedback from a group of friends who called themselves the "Inklings", of which he and J.R.R. Tolkien were the most famous members. The group gathered weekly to talk, enjoy each other's company, and read to the group what they had been working on.
Actually, it's sort of amazing that a man who had no children (at the time), and according to one acquaintance, did not like or understand them, would even attempt such a book!

Answer: 1941
The very first paragraph of the book places this in a time-zone, as the children were sent to the Professor's house to escape the bombing in London. This could have been any time from 1939 to 1945, as London children were evacuated in the autumn of 1939, again in spring 1940 and then in the latter years when the 'doodlebugs' started appearing.

Answer: rain
Oh, that English weather!
From Quiz: Narnia-- Lion , Witch and Wardrobe
Answer: 1950
The book was set during World War II - remember, the children were boarding with the Professor to get away from the air raids in London, so it was not 1937 or 1930. And Lewis died in 1963, so it was not 1965.
Lewis took on boarders himself during the war, which was probably part of his inspiration for the book.
