Title: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew
Author: C. S. Lewis

In a manner of chronology, The Magician’s Nephew is the first Narnia book. It explains in abundance the creation of Narnia and all its inhabitants and the origin of the Witch. It’s fascinating to dwell deeper about other dimensions, the in-between place, and all their wonders. I assume, we are very much aware that the great lion Aslan represents Jesus or God. But how about the Witch? And the wardrobe? By reading this wonderful book, we’ll get to know where the Witch came from and why the wardrobe has the power to transport someone to Narnia.
C. S. Lewis writing is simple and elegant. It shows accuracy and valuable symbolism. It’s a children’s book alright, (which explains its less complexity) but its story, as a prelude is so satisfying. It gives you everything you ever need to know before you leaf through (for the first time or once more) The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Though it’s in third person in general, some parts are written in second person, allowing it to feel more personal and grounded.
I get all the right amount of everything: moral, excitement, fascination, chill and emotion.
