Polly is introduced in ''The Magician's Nephew'', which was the sixth book in the series to be published but is first in the internal chronology of Narnia . She is an eleven-year old girl who lives in London, England and is the neighbor of Digory Kirke . Polly and Digory become friends and frequently meet to play together in the attic which connects all of the row-houses on their block. One day the children accidentally enter the study of Digory's Uncle Andrew, who has made a set of magic rings which transport the wearer to other worlds via the '' Wood Between Worlds ''. Uncle Andrew tricks Polly into trying on a ring; after she disappears, he blackmails Digory into following her with another ring, in order to bring her back. After being reunited in the Wood, Polly and Digory travel to the dying world of Charn . There, against Polly's advice, Digory breaks an enchantment which releases Jadis, the future White Witch . Jadis follows the children back through the Wood to London. Polly helps Digory return Jadis to the Wood and thence to the new world of Narnia , where they witness the creation of the world by Aslan . Polly, Digory, and the flying horse Fledge then travel to a walled garden in the Western Wild to retrieve a magical apple. This apple, when planted, grows into a tree that serves to protect the young land of Narnia. Polly and Digory return to England, where they remain friends. In ''The Last Battle'', the final book in the series (both chronologically and in order of publication), Polly is an elderly woman. She remains in contact with the other British "friends of Narnia" and is present with them when the apparition of Narnia's King Tirian appears to request their help. She is later killed in a railway accident and is transported to Aslan's country along with the other friends of Narnia. |
