The provided text consists of extensive excerpts from C. S. Lewis's fantasy novel, The Magician’s Nephew, which serves as Book One of The Chronicles of Narnia. The narrative details how two children, Digory and Polly, are drawn into an adventure by Digory's Uncle Andrew, a self-proclaimed magician who uses magical rings to send Polly to another world. Following her, Digory enters the Wood between the Worlds, eventually retrieving Polly and inadvertently bringing the evil Queen Jadis back to London. After chaos ensues in their world, the children, Uncle Andrew, a cabby, and his horse are transported to a primordial universe where they witness the powerful Lion, Aslan, sing a new world, Narnia, into existence. Aslan then tasks Digory with an important quest to protect the newly founded land, which involves a journey on the now-winged horse, Fledge, and leads to an encounter with Jadis in the magical garden.
