Book Review - Title: The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis

The Magician’s Nephew, the first book in the seven-book series of the Chronicles of Narnia depicts the exploration of Digory who is the nephew of the magician, his Uncle Andrew. Through the experimental use of some magical rings, Digory was tasked to seek out and bring back his friend Polly who touched one of those rings and vanished in thin air. In the process of their exploration, they accidentally released the Queen who later is known as the Snow Queen in the next book of the series.

Go on an adventure together with Digory on how he meets up with Aslan, the Lion and witness His grand creations and missions for Digory and Polly. And also how he faces the temptings of the Queen and later how he eventually was bestowed with a Narnian fruit for his sickly mother. You will also discover through this book the identity of the Professor, who the lion Aslan is depicting biblically, how the wardrobe came about, how the lamp post appeared in the middle of the jungle as depicted in the next book The Lion, the Wardrobe and the Witch.

For parents, you may consider borrowing and reading to your children.
