The Magician's Nephew

oung Digory is miserable living in London with his eccentric Uncle and Aunt. And why not? His mother is bed-ridden from a terrible disease, and his Uncle Andrew is downright peculiar. But Digory finds hope through his friendship with Polly next door. One rainy day, they go exploring in the rafters of their townhouses. They want to sneak into the attic of the empty house on the end but instead wind up in Uncle Andrew's secret study. While there, Uncle Andrew tricks them into trying on some strange Rings that he claims are magic.
