Review Detail

Reader reviewed by snailshot-Ashley Sarpong

C.S. Lewis' well-known series The Chronicles of Narnia, commences with The Magician's Nephew . Set in an England in a time "when your grandfather was a boy", we follow the story of extraordinary circumstances in ordinary places.


By the good graces of two inquisitive children, we discover a secret passage, to Digory's uncle Andrew's "study", where they are transported to a forest that leads to other worlds. As one world of evil ends we see a new world begin. In some senses allegorical to Christianity, we simply are endeared to this lovely book, the start to a great epic, in the world of Narnia. Though written intentionally for kids around grade school age, anyone can definetely enjoy this book, or at least I did. :)
