Digory let out a scream. “What's happened to Polly?” “Congratulate me, my dear boy,” said Uncle Andrew, rubbing his hands. “My experiment has succeeded. The little girl's gone – vanished – right out of this world.” When Digory and Polly discover Uncle Andrew's secret workshop, they are tricked into touching some magic rings that take them right out of this world. But even Uncle Andrew doesn't realise the wonders that lie ahead as they discover the gateway to the magical land of Narnia, where many thrilling adventures await them.

The Magician's Nephew is a great setup for the rest of the Narnia books, although on its own, it's not super compelling. I like Polly better as a character (perhaps because she has more common sense), but she ends up sort of relegated to a sidekick for Digory, the titular nephew, and I don't love that. But I really love the way Narnia is sang into being and, of course, the first time we meet Aslan.
this is actually the first book in chronologically order. but love readin it as the 6 th book how c.s lewis wrote it
