Plot Summary:
The key action begins when the two children by the name of Polly and Digory decide to explore the attic space in the row houses in which the two live. Digory and Polly ended up in in Digory's Uncle's room where all the trouble starts (by touching the rings on the table). The story then goes through a lot of sequence of events as Digory and Polly got Jadis the Witch back to the Woods and into an unknown world where they meet the Lion -Aslan for the first time. As the Lion sings, various plants begin to grow, starting first with grass, then trees. The Lion's song continues to produce more plants and flowers. From the trees and waters, various living creatures emerge and hail the Lion, Aslan, able to speak. As time passed, things continued to improve for Digory. After the death of a wealthy family member, his father returned from India and the family moved to a large house in the country. Digory and Polly always remained friends. In Narnia, all lived in peace. Digory, now a grown man and a learned professor and owner of the Ketterly's old house, could not bear to see the tree cut into firewood so he had the tree cut into timbers which he had fashioned into a wardrobe to be put in his old house in the country.
