Book Description:
First published in 1955, The Magician's Nephew was the sixth book C.S. Lewis wrote about Narnia. It was intended as a prequel to the series, chronicling events that took place before The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Many readers prefer to begin reading The Chronicles of Narnia with The Magician's Nephew.

When Digory and Polly try to return the wicked witch Jadis to her own world, the magic gets mixed up and they all land in Narnia where they witness Aslan blessing the animals with human speech.

A great, quick read by C.S. Lewis. This is somewhat of a prequel to the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and gives us a background about how Narnia came to exist, as well as the wardrobe. I loved the descriptions on the creation of Narnia.

This is in The Chronicles Of Narnia series. Very entertaining children's book with a lot of religious undertones.
