This is a series filled with magic, adventures and unlikely heroes.  In The Magician's Nephew, Digory and his friend Polly wind up in The Wood between Worlds.  What follows is the creation of Narnia--the world that takes center stage throughout this series.  Digory and Polly must defeat the evil Queen Jadis, who also torments the world in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.  CS Lewis weaves characters throughout his series, bringing familiar faces and places to his readers time and time again.  The series is acknolweged as being a Christian allegory.  While this is true, the series is also a fantastic adventure story filled with lessons about good and evil, dynamic characters like Tumnus the Faun, and vivid settings like Cair Paravel.
