The Magician's Nephew: Discover where the magic began in this illustrated prequel to the children’s classics by C.S. Lewis: Book 1 [Paperback] Lewis, C s

**Step through the wardrobe's origin story with this cracking preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks!**

Before Lucy found that famous wardrobe, before the White Witch cast her spell, there was Digory and Polly's wild adventure into the dying world of Charn. C.S. Lewis's *The Magician's Nephew* is where Narnia actually begins – witness the lion Aslan singing an entire world into existence while two Victorian kids accidentally unleash evil incarnate into London. Whoops.

This illustrated fantasy classic tackles friendship, temptation, and the price of curiosity with Lewis's trademark wit. Perfect for 8-12 year olds ready to graduate from picture books, plus nostalgic adults who fancy revisiting their childhood favorites. Lewis, the Oxford don who gave us seven Narnia books, knew how to spin a proper yarn without talking down to young readers.

*"Finally understood how the lamppost got there. Brilliant backstory that makes the other books even better."*
