Back Cover Synopsis: The novel begins in London in the early 1900s. The principal characters are two pre-adolescent children, Digory Kirk and Polly Plummer, Digory being the boy who becomes the Professor Kirke appearing in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. The pair are transported to other worlds by the magical experiments of Digory's selfish Uncle Andrew and become caught up in the creation of Narnia and the introduction there of the evil queen Jadis, antagonist of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Review: Of all the Narnia series I have read so far, this is by far my favorite. It is fresh, and explains how Narnia was created. It is incredibly intriguing--for any age, I imagine. C.S. Lewis has never dissapointed readers, and this work is the same. Simply amazing.
