The Chronicles of Narnia. The magician's Nephew C. S. Lewis. This is a story about something that happened long ago when your grandfather was a child. It is a very important story because it shows how all the comings and goings between our own world and the land of Narnia first began. In those days, Mr Sherlock Holmes were still living in Baker Street, and the bus tables were looking for treasure in the Lewisham Road. In those days, if you were a boy, you had to wear a stiff eating collar every day, and the schools were usually nastier than now. But meals were nicer. And as for the sweets, I won't tell you how cheap and good they were because it would only make your mouth water in vain. And in those days they lived in London, a girl called Polly Plummer. She lived in one of a long row of houses, which were all joined together. One morning she was out in the back garden when a boy scrambled up from the garden next door and put his face over the wall. Polly was very surprised because up till now there has never been any Children in that house, but only Mr Kettle E and Miss Quetta Lee, her brother and sister, old bachelor and old maid living together. So she looked up full of curiosity. The face of the strange boy was very grubby. He could hardly have been grubby if he had first rubbed his hands in the earth and then had a good cry and then dried his face with his hands. As a matter of fact, this was very nearly what he had been doing. Hello, said Polly. Hello, said the boy. What's your name? Polly, said Polly. What's yours? Degree, said the boy. I say, What's a funny name? Said Polly. It isn't half so funny. As Polly said Diggory. Yes, it is, said Polly. No, it isn't, said Diggory.
