The Magician's Nephew Paperback - 2008

by C. S. Lewis; Pauline Baynes (Illustrator)


About this book

The Magician's Nephew tells the story of the creation of Narnia, and paves the way to understand how the rest of the series plays out.  We learn of the Sons of Adam and the Daughters of Eve, how the wardrobe came to be, and more.
Digory and Polly are tricked into experimenting with magical rings by Digory's Uncle Andrew, and they are sent into the Wood between the Worlds.

From the publisher

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 sixty years. This paperback features cover art by three-time Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator David Wiesner and black-and-white interior art by the series' original illustrator, Pauline Baynes.

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.
