The Magician's Nephew

The Magician’s Nephew is the first volume in The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis, introducing readers to the origins of Narnia — a land where woods are thick and cold, and Talking Beasts come to life.

Set in a cold, wet summer in London, the story follows Digory and Polly, two children who become friends and stumble into an unexpected adventure. Digory’s eccentric Uncle Andrew, who believes himself to be a magician, sends them hurtling into another world — a mysterious place on the brink of becoming something new.

There, they witness the birth of Narnia, sung into existence by the mighty Lion, and encounter the evil sorceress Jadis, whose presence will haunt Narnia for generations. What begins as a simple visit to the house next door becomes a journey across worlds, full of wonder, danger, and discovery.

The Magician’s Nephew sets the stage for the epic adventures to come in the Narnia series, revealing the powerful forces that shaped the land before the arrival of the Pevensie children in later books.
