The Silver Chair
"Supposing I told you I'd been in a place where animals can talk and
where there are-er-enchantments and dragons-and-well, all the sorts of
things you have in fairy-tales." Scrubb felt terribly awkward as he said
this and got red in the face.
"How did you get there?" said Jill. She also felt curiously shy.
"The only way you can-by Magic."
Through an ordinary doorway Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole, fellow students
at a miserable school, stumble upon the place they wish most to be - Narnia.
But it is not their own wishes that bring them to the enchanted land; it
is the will of the might Aslan.
The noble Lion sends the children on a mission
to find the lost Prince Rillian, beloved son of Caspian, who was lured
away by a beautiful and mysterious women ten years ago and has been missing
ever since. Together with Puddleglum, the gloomy but valiant Marsh-wiggle,
Eustace and Jill must brave harsh terrain, menacing giants, and other grave
dangers before delving into the Underland to save the Prince. And although
they have reached the end of their quest, their troubles have only just
begun.
C. S. Lewis has once again worked his magic
in this sixth book of The Chronicles of Narnia. This master of fantasy
brings us even farther into and unforgettable world filled with adventure
and mystery.
