When Digory and Polly are tricked by Digory"s peculiar Uncle Andrew into becoming part of an experiment, they set off on the adventure of a lifetime. At last, they find themselves in the magical land of Narnia---Narnia before the Talking Beasts, before the Dwarfs, before all but the great Lion, Aslan. C.S. Lewis wrote The Magician"s Nephew in answer to questions about the origins of Narnia. Intended to be read as the first book of the seven, it shows us how the adventures in Narnia all began.
