This part of the book is set in England in WW II at the time the Germans were bombing many cities, including London (see "The Blitz"). Families in cities frequently sent their children into the country so that the children would be safe from the bombing attacks.

In the book The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe why were the children sent to stay with the professor?

During World War II, London was a dangerous place. The city was subject to a period of sustained bombing from the German Luftwaffe (air force) and so thousands of city children were sent to stay out in the country, where it was believed they would be safe. Country people opened up their homes to these children, taking them in for months at a time to provide a safe haven for them.

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.

How old are the Pevensies in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis?

Before the beginning of the novel, the Pevensie children lived in London with their mother, while their father was fighting in the war. At the very beginning of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe they were sent to live in the country, to be away from the bombings that were happening in London. This happened to many children during the war- they left London to live with strangers in the country, which was safer than living with the constant bombings.
