The Magician's Nephew


I recently read The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis. This is the first book in the 7 book series of the Chronicles of Narnia. It is about how two lonley children come upon their crazy uncle's study. The uncle then cons them into going into other worlds, until they find a blank world that soon becomes Narnia, the magical land these books are about. The children also bring with them an evil into the world, the white witch Jadis, that they found in a world about to die. It is basically a storybook analogy to some of Genisis...the creation story, Adam and Eve, and the devil.
I give this book a 4.5 out of 5. It is an excellent book and fun to read as most people have only read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. If you are a christian and have children, its a great way to teach about Genisis.
