SYNOPSIS In ''The Magician's Nephew'', the sixth book to be published but the first in the chronology of Narnia , Digory is a young boy. Digory's Uncle Andrew has made Magic Ring s that allow whoever wears them to travel to other worlds by passing through The Wood Between The Worlds . Uncle Andrew first tricks Digory's friend Polly Plummer into trying the ring; when she disappears, he then Blackmail s his nephew into following her with another ring in order to bring her back. After leaving the Wood and arriving in another world, Digory breaks an enchantment and inadvertently releases Jadis, the future White Witch , from her dead world Charn , and accidentally brings her back to London, and soon after, into the newly-created Narnia . In ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'' Digory appears at the beginning and the end of the story as the elderly Professor Kirke; his house is the place where the Pevensie children enter the wardrobe that leads into Narnia. In ''The Voyage Of The'' Dawn Treader , it is mentioned in passing that he has lost his fortune and had to give up his house. This explains why Edmund and Lucy are forced to stay with their cousin Eustace when their parents go abroad. |
