Diggory and Polly go on a wonderous adventure in the attic of their row houses. The figure if they go through the attics and passageways that connect all the houses, they will end up in the last house, which has been unoccupied for quite some time. They're not sure what they'll find there, but they expect it will be and adventure. They don't quite make it as far as the last house, but end up going on an adventure that takes them even further and to many different lands. They meet a queen, Jadis, who wants to return to their world so she can rule it, after having destroyed her own world. They come upon a glen with pools that lead to many other worlds and end up traveling to a world of nothingness, so dark that nothing can be seen. Then something magical happens, they hear a beautiful song and the world around them begins to grow and become.Great story! I particularly enjoyed it because I had already read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and thus new who Aslan was and that the world being created was Narnia. I particularly enjoyed how the light post came in to being.A few good quotes:"Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.""When things go wrong, you’ll find they usually go on getting worse for some time; but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.""Oh, Adam's sons, how cleverly you defend yourselves against all that might do you good!”
The narrator does such a wonderful job at telling you the story that you never want to stop listening until you get to the end of the story. As he reads you can just imagine the look and mannerisms of each character.
Absolutely the best narrator for Chronicles of Narnia! My grandkids (7, 10, 12) LOVED this to listen towhile traveling. So good for their imaginations...and they were skeptical about starting it -haha!
Excellent product. Having enjoyed "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," it was great to hear the prequel to that story. The reader did a very good job, too. It kept us entertained for hours.
This unabridged audio version of The Magician's Nephew is excellent. I recommend it for young and old alike as its appeal is ageless.
Loved this! The man who read it had an easy to listen to voice, he made it very enjoyable, and my kids adored it. Can't beat the price either.
