Advantages: An excellent story that really is very exciting throughout.

Disadvantages: None.

The Magicians Newphew by C.S. Lewis is a fantasy novel that was written as a children's book. It was originally published in 1955 and contains 202 pages of wonderful writing. I found the novel to be very well written and enjoyable to read overall and I really would recommend it as a result. This was the sixth book that was published in the Chronicles of Narnia and yet it appears first in the book. It really is a fantastic book that is written by the great C.S. Lewis so you cannot help but be impressed!

The novel is about two children and it is set in London in the time of around the 1900s. The two children are called Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer, these two children go in to an adventure of their own. The two children are taken into different worlds from an experiment that the horrible uncle of Digory has conducted. They are taken into the world of Narnia where they meet and see many things including the evil queen who is called Jadis. This novel took 6 years in total to complete and it apparently features elements of the authors life.

I found the story to be engaging and exciting throughout and it is full of the most wonderful ideas. I felt that the novel had a universal appeal in terms of age range and that it could really be enjoyed by all. As I said the story is just fantatsic and full of excitement and action making it a really good read throughout. I hope this was useful and thank you very much for reading this.

Summary: A superb novel that I would really recommend.
