About this title

From the Back Cover:

The secret passage to the house next door leads to a brand-new world.

Narnia . . . where horses sometimes grow wings and Talking Beasts are called to life . . . a new world full of magic, where the adventures begin.

Digory and Polly meet and become friends one cold, wet summer in London. Their lives burst into adventure when Uncle Andrew, who thinks he is a magician, sends them hurtling to . . . somewhere else. They find their way to a new land—Narnia! But when they awaken an evil sorceress, Polly and Digory are sent on a quest to stop her before she destroys the world they've just discovered!
