No. 1 – The Magician’s Nephew – Early Reader for 7 to 11 Year Olds

Before the Wardrobe, before the Witch, before the Lamppost… discover how the magic of Narnia began!

When young Digory and his friend Polly stumble into his eccentric uncle’s secret study, they discover a pair of magical rings that can transport them to other worlds. Their journey takes them through a mysterious in-between forest, the ruins of an ancient, fallen empire, and right into a confrontation with a dangerous, evil sorceress. Ultimately, the children find themselves witnessing an unforgettable, breathtaking event: the very creation of Narnia by the great lion, Aslan.
