The Magician's Nephew
by C. S. Lewis
Review this book!
Although this classic children's fantasy was originally published as the sixth installment of the Chronicles of Narnia, it actually takes place earliest in the sequence. Set at the turn of the 20th century, it features Digory Kirke, the elderly owner of the magic wardrobe so critical to THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, as a boy. Using rings crafted by Digory's Uncle Andrew, an unscrupulous and not terribly skilled magician, Digory and his friend Polly travel to various other worlds, where Digory rashly awakens a sinister, overbearing witch-queen locked in magical slumber, and inadvertently transports her to London and then to Narnia at the moment of its creation.
