Search - The Magician's Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia)

Beginning of the classic, "Chronicles of Narnia." This was not one of my favorites but it lays down some interesting background to the other stories and presents the introduction of evil into the world of Narnia.

There is a reason why these books are classics. I loved this books as a young girl. They probably belong in everyone's reading.

Reading this now with the religious aspect in mind, the symbolism is very clear and very strong in this book, and also the entire series. Excellent and well-written.

This is the beautiful story of how the land of Narnia was created. I'm glad I read it before diving into the series (there are two different philosophies as to how the Chronicles are arranged, and one of them has this one as the first book).

A fine start to the Chronicles of Narnia. Read several of them and have enjoyed each more. Recommended

This is the first Narnia book, set before the movie.

Good adventure book for young and old alike.

I thought this book was a great beginning for the rest of the books to come in the series

I loved this book. The Chronicles of Narnia is one of my favorite series and should be read by everyone, young or old.

The beginning of Narnia. You don't have to read this book first but it sets up the next book. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. It explains where the Lion, Witch and wardrobe came from....well maybe not so much the Lion.

"The Magician's Nephew" tells of the creation of Narnia by the great and powerful Aslan, and the temptation of a son of Adam, by a deceiver, with an apple from a forbidden tree.

This is the story of Digory and Polly, two friends who, upon an accidental meeting with Magician wanna-be Uncle Andrew, find themselves in a head spinning adventure involving other worlds, magical rings, an evil sorceress, a cabby and his horse, talking animals, and a collection of fauns, satyrs, dwarves and naiads.

Very interesting...it gives you a lot of the background as to how Narnia started and how the wardrobe in the later books came to be.

This copy has the 1994 cover art.

Narnia where talking animals come alive,,,,..book 1

good used condition, no marks on any pages that I can find...older book with different cover.

amazing

Like the rest of the series my son said he adored this 1st installment of the Narnia series.

The picture on the book that I posted is different from the one shown. There is also 221 pages in my book vs. the 240 as stated in the description.
