The Magician's Nephew	comment	The sixth book written in The Chronicles of Narnia series, and the first one chronologically, its events taking place before The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.In this prequel, two Edwardian children, Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer, accidentally visit the dead world of Charn, where Digory falls for Schmuck Bait, waking the Empress Jadis. She boasts about how she destroyed all life on her world, and forces the children to take her to London, where she causes a public disturbance. Eventually Jadis, the children, Digory's wicked Uncle Andrew, and a cabbie and his horse get a front row seat for the creation of Narnia by Aslan. Jadis is exiled to the far North, the cabbie and his wife (who gets transported there by Aslan) become king and queen, and the children and Uncle Andrew are returned home.

The Magician's Nephew / int_1049848f	type	Aliens Speaking English
The Magician's Nephew / int_1049848f	comment	Aliens Speaking English: Inverted and subverted when on Charn, Digory and Polly see an inscription on a bell written in another language. While the language does not change, the kids can understand it due to a magic in the air. Something similar may have happened when Jadis woke up and was able to communicate with them. When off Charn, Jadis inexplicably does speak English, though her spell casting is still done in her original language and doesn't work outside of Charn.

Lewis' mother and his wife in Real Life. Justified since The Magician's Nephew is set in the Edwardian Era, before cancer diagnosis and treatment were commonplace, so they might not know what it is, only that she's critically ill and nothing the doctors can do is making a difference.

The Magician's Nephew / int_1777688d	comment	Genre Savvy: Digory warns Uncle Andrew that, as he's obviously a villain, he better expect retribution for what he does. Uncle Andrew privately thinks, "Oh, Crap!, he's right!" before trying to laugh it off as Digory reading too many fairy tales. Polly is savvy enough to suspect that the warning next to the bell in Charn (which says that anyone who reads said warning must either strike the bell or go insane wondering what would have happened otherwise) is just Schmuck Bait and not actually putting them under an enchantment. Since Digory does impulsively strike the bell, we never find out if he and Polly would have really gone mad afterward or not.

The Magician's Nephew / int_18eb5500	comment	Beautiful Void: The Wood between the worlds. It is a dense forest, with a grass floor and many shallow, still pools of water. Each pool is connected to a different world, and the only way to get to this place is through the use of special magic rings, created by Andrew. The place has a very peaceful, blissful, soporific atmosphere. There are no creatures there, save for the ones that have used the rings to get there... and those that have have most likely entered a deep, indefinite, peaceful, dreamless sleep. Inverted with Charn, where its emptiness is unsettling and creates a deathlike atmosphere.

The Magician's Nephew / int_1e6dfea1	comment	Ãœbermensch: Jadis considers herself the sole arbiter of morality. Of course, being a book by C. S. Lewis, there is an even stronger force at work. Uncle Andrew is a deconstruction: he is similarly amoral, and comes across as frightening at first, but then becomes increasingly pathetic as the bankruptness of his philosophy and character are gradually exposed over the course of the story.

The Magician's Nephew / int_1e95dd12	comment	Adam and Eve Plot: Frank and his wife Nellie become the Adam and Eve of Narnia. It's not played entirely straight; their children and descendants marry native magical races, and by the time Jadis returns nobody that qualifies as (or identifies as) human is left in Narnia itself. The humans in Archenland and Calormen are also their descendants — according to the Narnia wiki, Frank V's youngest son Col led human settlers into Archenland, and the Calormenes were exiled criminals from Archenland. Thus, a cabbie and 2000+ years populated a whole magical world, with some new blood when pirates (and their captured wives) fell through the worlds and ended up becoming the Telmarines...

The Magician's Nephew / int_2905fbec	comment	Your Magic's No Good Here: A British mob is narrowly saved from Jadis' wrath by the fact that her magic doesn't work in London. It's quite an annoyance to her to find that she's gone from being able to wipe out all life on her planet to being just a very tall (though superhumanly strong) person. In Narnia, she manages to find a workaround: using a wand. Narnian magic, on the other hand, is merely diminished rather than negated. Digory brings a silver apple from Narnia to Earth. In Narnia, it can give immortality (or whatever else happens to be your "heart's desire"), on Earth it can "merely" heal fatal illness.

It's even lampshaded: he notes that really she's just as bad as Uncle Andrew, but it's tough to remember because Uncle Andrew isn't seven feet tall and stunningly beautiful. Played with in the hall of waxworks showing the rulers of Charn throughout history. The initial figures are beautiful and the children decide that they were good people. As they go further down, the figures get less appealing and look more malevolent. They're still good-looking as such, but their increasingly evil expressions mar the impression.

Fortunately, she didn't have time to dress up beforehand, so she's wearing her sensible workday clothes and looks quite beautiful. When Uncle Andrew puts on his "best clothes" when Jadis arrives in England, the narration notes that he just looks ridiculous instead of fancy.

The primary rules of Narnia seen in the later books are laid down by Aslan: Aslan proclaims that only sons of Adam and daughters of Eve are the rightful rulers of Narnia. This is because a son of Adam (Digory) caused Jadis to waken and enter Narnia to threaten it, and so Aslan proclaims that it falls to humanity to forever protect Narnia from evil. Aslan warns the talking animals never to behave as their dumb unspeaking counterparts, lest they return to that state of being. Later books in the series show this is precisely what happens to native Narnians who indulge their baser instincts.

The Magician's Nephew / int_93168fb1	comment	It's Quietâ€¦ Too Quiet: Polly and Digory feel this way when they enter Charn, and find themselves in a vast ruined palace, which has clearly been deserted for centuries, and has nothing but a cold dead silence. They note that the Wood between the Worlds was also silent, but was rich and full of life, in that you could almost hear the trees growing. Later, they end up in the empty and dark Narnia just before all life is created by Aslan, and for a moment, they believe they are back in Charn at night.

The Magician's Nephew / int_97c3a6af	type	The Power of Creation
The Magician's Nephew / int_97c3a6af	comment	The Power of Creation: chronologically the first book in The Chronicles of Narnia, this depicts the moment when Aslan 'sang' Narnia into existence, bringing life to everything and everyone that lived in it at the beginning of the world. As a side-effect, even objects 'planted' in the earth at this time will grow into larger things, such as an iron bar becoming a replica of the lamp-post it was torn from or a few coins becoming literal money trees. This is explicitly stated to be the source of one of Lion/Witch/Wardrobe's biggest mysteries: the lamp post. Jadis unwittingly brought a bar from an English lamp with her to Narnia and tried to attack Aslan with it; the bar was imbued with a life force where it fell, and it grew into a brand-new lamp post. Similarly, coins from Andrew's pockets grow into two small trees of gold and silver. When asked about this by Polly, Aslan elaborates that this new life will cease after a few days and Narnia will be a more normal world from then on.

The cabbie whose carriage and horse she stole kindly tells her that a lady like herself shouldn't be involved in such a to-do, and she should go home and have a nice cup of tea and lie down. Given that Jadis is knocking out a police officer with an iron bar she ripped off a lamp post while she's being told this, it just establishes the cabbie as well-meaning but not terribly perceptive.

Each pool is connected to a different world, and the only way to get to this place is through the use of special magic rings, created by Andrew. The place has a very peaceful, blissful, soporific atmosphere. There are no creatures there, save for the ones that have used the rings to get there... and those that have have most likely entered a deep, indefinite, peaceful, dreamless sleep.

The Magician's Nephew / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: "In those days Mr. Sherlock Holmes was still living in Baker Street and the Bastables were looking for treasure in the Lewisham Road." One of the Russian translations changes the reference to Bastables to a reference to Father Brown from stories by G. K. Chesterton, most probably because Chesterton is much better known in Russia than Nesbit. When Polly and Digory first wonder what Uncle Andrew does in his secret study, Polly speculates that he might have a mad wife up there, while Digory speculates that he might be a former pirate hiding a treasure map like Billy Bones. The trees of silver and of gold have analogs in the works of Lewis' longtime friend J. R. R. Tolkien. Another reference is how Aslan brings Narnia into being through a song, which comes from the Music of the Ainur in Tolkienâ€™s then unpublished mythology. The hall of waxworks in Charn is said to be a nod to the grotto of mummies in King Solomon's Mines. Aslan's weeping with Digory for the latter's dying mother is clearly inspired by the famous Biblical passage "Jesus wept," when Jesus met with Lazarus's sisters after his death and, despite knowing that he could resurrect Lazarus and having come to do so, responded to their weeping with compassionate tears of his own.

The Magician's Nephew / int_d5b7a6e3	comment	Denied Food as Punishment: Downplayed. When Polly gets home late for dinner, with her feet wet from one of the pools, her parents think she's been puddle-jumping with Digory in a strange part of London and punish her by giving her dinner "with all the nice parts left out" and sending her to bed for "two solid hours".

When Digory, Polly, and Jadis return there after Digory and Polly meet Jadis in Charn, Jadis seems to be in extreme discomfort and begs the children to take her somewhere else:

They sarcastically give three cheers for the Empress of Colney Hatch, a well known psychiatric asylum. Jadis also tries her spells on Digory's aunt, who just thinks she's drunk.

The Magician's Nephew / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: The piece of lamppost that Jadis inadvertently brings to Narnia grows into a complete lamppost, first seen in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The wardrobe itself is made from the wood of the tree that grew from the core of the apple Digory brought from Narnia, after it was blown down in a storm. Aslan also correctly predicts Narnia hasn't heard the last of Jadis, who is already turning pale after eating an apple when Digory sees her in the garden.

The Magician's Nephew / int_eb7c34cf	comment	Crossover: A subtle one, courtesy of Andrew's fairy godmother, an English woman, said to be the last living human with fairy blood in her veins, keeping a small box with dust originating in Atlantis. The Fridge Logic involved leads one to think of the DÃºnedain, actually descended from the Atlantis of J. R. R. Tolkien's Legendarium — humans of mixed ancestry, partly with elvish (fairy) blood in them. Thus, Andrew made the rings from matter collected in NÃºmenor! It's possibly the closest you will ever get to a direct crossover between the books of Lewis and Tolkien, outside of a few oblique references in The Space Trilogy. Note that The Lord of the Rings had been published when The Magician's Nephew was written.

The Magician's Nephew / int_f829585a	comment	Jadis is an inversion. Digory is at first smitten with her, but he and Polly soon find out that she is certainly not good. It's even lampshaded: he notes that really she's just as bad as Uncle Andrew, but it's tough to remember because Uncle Andrew isn't seven feet tall and stunningly beautiful.

The Magician's Nephew / int_f8e010ce	comment	Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: How Jadis makes her mistake when tempting Digory in the climax. She suggests that he could conceal his theft of one of the silver apples by abandoning Polly and stranding her in Narnia, so that nobody would know what he did. Digory knows what Jadis doesn't — that Polly has her own set of rings and can get home fine on her own — but the sheer meanness of the idea is enough to make him realize that Jadis doesn't have his interests at heart, and ends any thought he might have had of giving in to the temptation. Played with in the case of Uncle Andrew. He understands goodness well enough to know that tricking Polly into using the rings to go to another world would also get Digory to go, since his nephew was too good a person to abandon his friend to whatever dangers she could have landed in. When they go to Narnia, though, all he thinks about is how the magical world can benefit him. When Digory wonders if there's something there that could cure his mother (Andrew's sister), Uncle Andrew can't for the life of him figure out why Digory is bothering with such silly questions.
