THE CREATION OF NARNIA~!!

Title: THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW
Author: C.S LEWIS
ISBN: 0-590-25475-8

THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW is the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia.
The story begins when Polly and Digory meet each other in London for the first time. The two gets close and one rainy day, they climb through the adjoining attics that connect all the houses in their row together and find themselves in a locked room with his mad-scientist uncle, Andrew. Uncle Andrew tricks Polly into participating in an unsafe experiment and then blackmails Digory to go along. The experiment leads them from one world into another until they eventually end up in Narnia on the day of its creation by Aslan.
At first, everyone is afraid of Aslan, but Digory bravely goes out to Aslan because he had to look for a fruit to cure his mother from a new born world(wich is Narnia). At the end, Digory finds the apple to cure his mother narrowly, the White Witch flees, and uncle Andrew learns his lesson. Which is a happy ending.
To write my opinion about this book, it was really amazing and interesting. Especially since Aslan's creation of Narnia. It's because the creation was pictured as God's creation of our World which means it's a Christian-like story. And because the evil creatures all got punished and the kind people got rewarded after the creation. And finally because I got all the answers of my question; where did the lamppost in Western wood come from? Why do some of the animals in Narnia talk and others don't? Where did the White Witch come from, etc. ( I didn't read the books in order. I read the 2nd series first.) Conclusively, I really liked this book and want to recommend it to the people who are not Christian because it mentions many Christian stories.
