Publisher Description
Don’t miss one of America’s top 100 most-loved novels, selected by PBS’s The Great American Read. Narnia . . . a land frozen in eternal winter . . . a country waiting to be set free
Witness the creation of a magical land in The Magician's Nephew, the first title in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, which has captivated readers of all ages for over seventy five years.
On a daring quest to save a life, two friends are hurled into another world, where an evil sorceress seeks to enslave them. But then the lion Aslan's song weaves itself into the fabric of a new land, a land that will be known as Narnia. And in Narnia, all things are possible.
This is a stand-alone novel, but if you want to journey back to Narnia, read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the second book in The Chronicles of Narnia.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Every fantasy world has an origin story, and this captivating prequel reveals how the magical land of Narnia came to be. London kids Digory and Polly stumble into an adventure when Digory’s Uncle Andrew, a bumbling magician, sends them traveling between worlds using enchanted rings. Their journey accidentally awakens Jadis, a power-hungry sorceress who threatens to conquer the Earth. It’s only when the children witness the world of Narnia being sung into existence that they discover something powerful enough to stop her. C. S. Lewis crafts a story that works beautifully on its own while enriching the entire Narnia saga for existing readers, gracefully answering the question of how evil first entered such an innocent world. Whether it’s a childhood favourite or a new discovery, this enchanting tale delivers timeless adventure.
