Originally the 6th book… The Magician’s Nephew is now the 1st in the series. Based in the year 1900 in normal human year count, it tells of a young boy, Digory Kirk, went to live with his aunt and uncle because his dad was in India and his mother was terminally. When he was there, meets a girl who lives next door, Polly, and they soon find themselves walking through a secret passage which led to Digory’s uncle’s work place. Fortunately for his Uncle Andrew but unfortunately for them, Uncle Andrew wanted to use Digory and Polly for his “experiment”. Feeling that his uncle was a little eccentric, Digory tries to find a way out but Uncle Andrew manages to trick Polly into a trap where she picked up a yellow ring and disappeared. Now it was all up to Digory to bring her back. Uncle Andrew explains that Polly was sent to another world by the magic yellow ring and the only way for her to come back was for him to go after her bringing along two magic green rings which will enable safe return, or so he says. Having no choice, Digory goes after her. After a short while of what seemed like a water roller coaster ride, Digory comes out from a pool and finds himself in some kind of quiet woods, where he finds Polly. The woods was filled with many small pools of water. But instead of going straight back, Digory and Polly decided to check out what other worlds that the pools led to. They came to a place where it seemed that everyone there was frozen in some spell and at one end there was a bell which beckons anyone to ring it in order to awaken the be-spelled people. Being a curious little boy, Digory decides to ring the bell even though Polly told him not to. Then they find themselves in over their heads. They had awaken the evil witch who is extremely power crazy. As a last ditch to be rid of the witch, they decided to head back for home. Unfortunately, the witch managed to tag along and ended up in their world or rather “our” world. Needless to say she tried to make everyone bow to her supremacy but it only infuriated everyone. Digory and Polly new very well that they couldn’t just leave her in their world so they had no choice but to go back. This time their journey brought them to another place, a place that had just began to come alive. The creator of that land was a gigantic lion by the name of Azlan, and the place was Narnia. At the sight of the great lion, the witch fled and disappeared. With a lot of questions ringing in his mind, Digory went to seek advice from the great lion Azlan. When he met Azlan, he was sent to rectify his deed, the fact that he brought the evil witch to Narnia on it’s day of birth (Narnian Year 1). Digory was sent to retrieve a magic apple, from which a magical tree will grow and it will guard Narnia from the harm of the witch. When he got back triumphant from the task, he was given a reward by Azlan. A apple from the tree that grew from the apple he brought back. The apple was for his mother whom from eating the apple will recover from the sickness. After that, the were sent home. Digory and Polly never went back to Narnia because they decided to bury the rings for the fear that someone would use them for evil. However, Digory did plant the core of the apple that he gave his mother from where a tree grew. Although its fruit did not give healing powers, it was exceptionally tasty and nutritious. Many years later, the tree was struck down but Digory used the wood to construct a wardrobe…
