Set as a prequel to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, this work introduces readers to Lewis’ fantasy world through two young protagonists, Digory and Polly. After stumbling upon Digory’s magician uncle, both young characters are transported to another world. It is in their other-worldly travels that they encounter the evil witch, Jadis, and Aslan, the great lion. They witness the creation of Narnia, the coronation of its first king and queen, and Aslan’s great wisdom and love for his creation. Their experiences lead them into great acts of courage, humility, honesty, responsibility, and more.
