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 the magic rings which transport them to the Other
Place. But even Uncle Andrew doesn't realise the wonders that await them
- for here is the gateway to the Land of Narnia and the beginning of
many wonderful adventures there… Clive Staples Lewis, born in 1898,
wrote many books for adults but the Narnia stories were his only works
for children. The final title, The Last Battle, published in 1956, won
the Carnegie Award, the highest mark of excellence in children's
literature.
