Four-star review of The Magician’s Nephew by C. S. Lewis
This prequel to the Narnia stories, written after them, is as
magical as those and as easy to read as the original books for middle-grade
kids. It answers many questions about the origin of Narnia, including the way
Aslan’s voice brought forth the world complete with the creatures everyone
knows, as well as the origin of the White Witch. Diggory (the titular
character) and his neighbor in London, Polly, are sent on a quest by Diggory’s
uncle, a self-styled magician, using three enchanted rings. Their adventures
are not what the magician expected and much better for the two children.
