魔法师的外甥 (The Magician's Nephew)

"纳尼亚传奇" 成书于上世纪50年代，是世界儿童文学经典。故事讲述兄妹四人几度进入一个奇异世界——纳尼亚王国——的不同时期，在那里经历了一番前世来生。这套书一共7本，每本互有关联，亦可独立阅读。纳尼亚和我们的世界之间存在着时空差别，这意味着每一个新故事都会有不同寻常和出乎意料的东西，每一部都会带来一个令人难忘的新纳尼亚形象。作者利用诸多人物、动物和半人半神的形象，融入神话、童话和传奇，用比喻或隐喻向小读者讲述人世道理。全书文字浅显，想象奇巧，形象逼真，场面恢弘，充满真善美，又闪现着英式幽默，无愧于二战后英国最伟大的儿童文学作品之美誉。按照故事发展顺序，本册为"纳尼亚传奇"系列第一部，讲述因为一个邪恶懦弱的魔法师和两枚不可思议的魔戒，两位小主人公误闯一个新世界，目睹了纳尼亚王国的诞生，经过一番历险，最终又回到真实生活，为这一系列的其后六部奠定了"前世"。(As written in the 1950s, The Chronicles of Narnia is the world's classic literature for children.
