In The Magician's Nephew, the first of the seven Chronicles of Narnia, nothing is quite as it seems. Digory and Polly find themselves magically transported to a Wood between the Worlds, where several small ponds act as gateways to different worlds. They discover the dead world of Charn and together with Aslan the lion the pair fight against the evil Queen Jadis, restoring the land to its natural state and triumphing over the darkness that reigned before their arrival. Rich in imagery and emotion, The Magician's Nephew has been relished by hoards of young readers since it was first published in the 1950s. This impressive new edition, published in celebration of the centenary of CS Lewis and featuring delicately crafted, hand-coloured, original illustrations by Pauline Baynes, will capture the hearts of a whole new generation, working its magic on young minds as they wallow in the sheer joy of the Chronicles of Narnia. --Susan Harrison

4.0 The Magician's Nephew
A slightly disturbing tale, but a great book over all. Really helps tell how the Narnia world started.

4.0 The Magician's Nephew
A fun read, and a nice beginning of the series. You get to know how Narnia (and the closet entry) was created. It was exciting, funny (the lamp post ha!) and makes me want to read more.

5.0 Narnia's Creation Myth
I simply love the writings of C.S. Lewis. Okay, I may not necessarily agree with everything he writes (and I would be an idiot if I did) but I have always found his works, whether they are children's books (such as this one) or deep theological tracts (such as [book:The Weight of Glory]) to be incre...
