Sneak previews only in IMAX will begin on February 10, 2027. A picture book retelling of C. S. Lewis's classic story The Magician’s Nephew, abridged for the youngest fans! Introduce readers to the magic of Narnia with this all-new picture book featuring illustrations by Thai My Phuong. This is how it happened—the glorious birth of the land of Narnia. It didn’t begin with a wardrobe or a lamp-post. It began with a lion’s song and two children named Polly and Digory. What happens when they touch some magic rings is beyond anything they could have imagined. Their adventure opens the doorway to Narnia, where animals speak and trees walk. Where the great lion, Aslan, sings life into a new world. But they have brought evil with them, and now Polly and Digory must find a way to save them all. Begin on of the greatest adventures of all time and explore a world that has become as real as our own. The Magician’s Nephew can also be read as a novel and it is one of the seven books in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia, which has been drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over seventy-five years.
