Product Description

From Amazon.com

This large, deluxe hardcover edition of the first title in the classic Chronicles of Narnia series, The Magician's Nephew, is a gorgeous introduction to the magical land of Narnia. The many readers who discovered C.S. Lewis's Chronicles through The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will be delighted to find that the next volume in the series is actually the first in the sequence--and a step back in time. In this unforgettable story, British schoolchildren Polly and Digory inadvertently tumble into the Wood Between the Worlds, where they meet the evil Queen Jadis and, ultimately, the great, mysterious King Aslan. We witness the birth of Narnia and discover the legendary source of all the adventures that are to follow in the seven books that comprise the series.

Rich, heavy pages, a gold-embossed cover, and Pauline Baynes's original illustrations (hand-colored by the illustrator herself 40 years later) make this special edition of a classic a bona fide treasure. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter



From AudioFile

Written in 1955 as a prequel to the 1950 fantasy novel THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE, this title is the story of two children in Victorian England who unwittingly take part in the (re)birth of the magical land of Narnia. Kenneth Branagh's precise and enchanting reading takes the listener from the rooftops of London to the fields of Narnia, and then back to London as mad Uncle Andrew ushers an evil sorceress named Jadis to wreak havoc in our world. Lewis's storytelling is magnificent, and Branagh's performance completely and utterly engaging. S.E.S.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Prelude To The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Dec 18 2008
This review is from: The Magician's Nephew (Mass Market Paperback)
In this book, two children, Polly Plummer and Digory, embark on a series of adventures into other worlds after first becoming friends in London where Polly lives in a row house. Digory lives with his aunt and rather strange uncle, staying there while his father is off in India. The uncle tricks the children into using rings to visit other worlds, but as a result of these explorations serious complications result. In one world the Digory awakens a cruel and evil queen, Jadis, who had destroyed her world and now seeks other realms in which to exert power. Ultimately she exploits the children and eventually arrives at Narnia as it is being created to become the evil counterpart to Aslan, the great lion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Magic, Nov 2 2008
By Timothy Jones (Tallest tower, Bellamy Island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Magician's Nephew (Paperback)
11 Gold stars would be more appropriate. It is best read with a hot cup of tea in a dark quiet pace in the middle of the night with the light of 3 candles only. Needless to say I didn't sleep much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read this book last, Jan 23 2007
By J. Spear "oldbookhunter" (Mississauga, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Magician's Nephew (Paperback)
I don't think I can add much more than the reviews already given. This book is a great book, and is indespensible in the Narnia series.

The one mistake many people make in reading this series fresh is to read this one first. To enjoy this series the best, read this one last. Although this is first as far as time-lines go, this book has always had more of a "filler" feel to it. It does not exist on it's own, and the strength of it's story is not in it's own story-line, but in the ties it has with the rest of the series.

Most people consider this the first book, but quite frankly it needs to be considered the last one.
