About this listen
Narnia . . . a land frozen in eternal winter . . . a country waiting to be set free
Witness the creation of a magical land in The Magician's Nephew, the first title in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, which has captivated readers of all ages for over sixty years.
On a daring quest to save a life, two friends are hurled into another world, where an evil sorceress seeks to enslave them. But then the lion Aslan's song weaves itself into the fabric of a new land, a land that will be known as Narnia. And in Narnia, all things are possible.
This is a stand-alone novel, but if you want to journey back to Narnia, check out The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the second book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

"Lewis's storytelling is magnificent, and Branagh's performance completely and utterly engaging." (AudioFile)

One of the best stories ever conceived
I watched the Narnia movies when I was a kid and many times since then. I've always loved these stories. All the magic and adventure is quite riveting, and the symbolism and allegory make them thought provoking as well. I kept meaning to read these books for myself but never found the time. Listening to it with Audible let me make the time for it.

Excellent performance of a well-loved classic!
My mother read a copy of this book, that she had gotten from her grandmother, to my brother and I when we were small. It was so nice to have it read to me again, and made housework much more enjoyable.

A confusing start to an essential series
The Narrator, Kenneth Branagh, brings to life every character that crowns this glorious novel. Littered with Christian imagery it is hard not to miss some of the intentions of Lewis, writing this series as a way of introducing children more subtly into the innocent magic of the religion. For individuals first approaching this classic series, I do not recommend this to be the 'first of the series' as there are heavy allusions to events that take place in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe as well as The Horse and His Boy. Simultaneously, there is a sort of magic that takes place in this novel that doesn't reappear until later in the series. But for those curious about some of the pretext to the Wardrobe and how the White Witch Janis came to Narnia after reading LWW, this is undoubtedly an essential addition to one of the first series I have ever read.
