The Chronicles of Narnia

The Magician's Nephew
By C.S. Lewis

This is the first novel I've read by C.S. Lewis, and I have fallen in Love. His prose is enchanting, not only because of the content, but because of how easily and naturally it flows.
For those of you who do not know about Narnia, this book was actually the second to last book written on the series, but the first one in the chronology of the story of Narnia.
The book introduces us to Digory and Polly, who are forced to go to another world by Digory's uncle, Andrew. When in this new world Digory and Polly realize they are actually in an in-between of sorts. A world between the worlds. They begin exploring these other worlds, getting into adventures all along, and end up discovering the new forming world of Narnia.

The continuation of this book is The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
