It is in old England, Sherlock Holmes is still living on
Baker Street, and off in a small corner of London, the children Digory, and
Polly find themselves catapulted into strange worlds by Digory’s mad Uncle. The
children were given rings to go to strange worlds which will eventually lead to
the discovery of Narnia. Digory and Polly use the rings to explore the many
worlds in the Woods between the Worlds and discover many interesting things.
Digory’s
uncle sends Polly into the unknown and traps Digory into going as well. This is
Digory’s response: “‘By gum,’ said Digory, ‘Don’t I just wish I was big enough
to punch your head!’” This helps prove the point that Digory’s uncle is
absolutely insane. So far I haven’t gotten very far in this book only about
fifty pages in, but I find it very intriguing. It has managed to capture my
attention, and keep me guessing as to what will happen next. I very much enjoy
it. This book is definitely worth a read.
