To all who have followed the adventures in C. S. Lewis' marvelous
land of Narnia, ?? is a treat as it goes back to "grandfather's
day" and tells how first contacts with ?? were made. In London
there was Digory a boy who lived with a wicked uncle, and ??, the
friend with whom he goes exploring. At first their adventures bring
near disaster for mad Uncle Andrew uses magic powers inherited from
his grandmother to send Polly off to the Woods Between the Worlds.
There Digory follows her and the two children meet Jadis, a which
who accompanies them back to reality. In turn Jadis brings with her
a peck of trouble for everyone concerned- including Uncle Andrew-
until a chance fall into a pit transfers them all to Narnia, the
singing land of Aslan the Lion, whose intelligence and love
vanquishes all evil. Couched in Lewis' silvered prose, this is rich
reading. (Kirkus Reviews)

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…
