The Magician’s Nephew
While Digory and Polly, two friends, are exploring their London homes, they accidentally get into the study of Digory’s Uncle Andrew. Uncle Andrew is (or what he fondly imagines himself to be) a magician and he sends first Polly and then Digory into the woods between the worlds. Where they enter yet another world and find a witch, who they accidentally take back to London. In the scramble that ensues, they manage to get the witch, Uncle Andrew and several other people into a world that is just being created. The world that contains Narnia.
This is one of my favorite Narnian books. The tale of Narnia’s creation is definitely a classic. Good friends, Aslan, interesting adventures and some very funny parts. Definitely a must read.
