The first book of the Chronicles of Narnia...where the woods are thick and cool, where the Talking Beasts are called to life...a new world where the adventure begins. Digory and Polly meet and become friends one cold, wet summer in London. Their lives burst into adventure when Digory's Uncle Andrew, who thinks he is a magician, sends them hurtling into...somewhere else. They find their way to Narnia, newborn from the Lion'ssong and encounter the evil sorceress Jadis, before they finally return home.
Imagine darting to different worlds as quick as you please by touching a mysterious yellow ring with hidden powers. What fun!- unless you land in a world containing an evil ruler bent on total conquest. Queen jadis' dark treachery threatens Narnia's very existence-unless Digory can somehow undo the damage he's brought into this world. But will he be strong enough to see through her artful deception? Unabridged. 4 hours. 4 CDs. Read by Kenneth Branagh.
