The Wood between Worlds"The Chronicles of Narnia"... one of my favourites from an author called C.S. Lewis.The first book is called the "The Magician's Nephew" . The book wasn't really the first book( of The Chronicles of Narnia series) written by C.S. Lewis. The book was written in 1955 after 5 other books was written. But this book is a prequel to The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I took a look at the back cover and read it...
" THE ADVENTURE BEGINS ------- NARNIA... where Talking Beasts walk...where a witch waits....where a new world was born. On a daring quest to save a life, two friends are hurled into another world, where evil sorceress seeks to enslave them. But then the lion Aslan's song weaves itself into the fabric of a new land, a land that will be known as Narnia. And in Narnia, all things are possible. "
The book is about 2 children, Polly and Digory, who are neighbours and friends. They decided to explore the attic of an old and tall house. That place is fill with mystery and the children are so curious that they decided to find out what's in there. Is it haunted? Are there criminals in there? But it was a disappointment as they entered the wrong room. Soon, they found themselves inside the secret workroom of Digory's Uncle Andrew. Uncle Andrew tricks Polly and blackmails Digory to put on a ring that will bring him to an unusual place. That place is like a wood with many small pools of water. That place is called The Wood between Worlds.
Is it quite confusing? How can there be Wood between Worlds. By the way, how can there be other world..... But C.S. Lewis wrote this book and he created a fantasy world where anything can happen.. In order to get to the Wood between Worlds, you need to wear a ring. Acually, there are 2 types of rings; the yellow ring and the green ring. The yellow ring will brings you into the Wood between Worlds. You will come out from one of the pools of water in the Wood between Worlds. When you get up, you'll find yourselves not wet at all. On the other hand, the green ring is the one that will brings you out of the Wood between Worlds and into a world. In order to get to a world, you need to wear the green ring and jump into one of the pools of water. And this will only works when you wear the green ring. Different pools of water leads you to different worlds. It is acually very simple. The green ring will bring you into a world while the yellow ring will bring you out of a world and into the Wood between Worlds.
By the way, what can you find in the Wood between Worlds? Other than the trees, grassland, and pools of water, you will find absolutely nothing; no people and no other objects. All the pools of water and trees are identical so if you are in there, you can easily get lost. The Wood between Worlds is so quiet that it gives you a dreamy feeling. You could just lie down and sleep forever. And if you entered the Wood between Worlds without the green ring, you will never get out unless somebody come into that place and save you. You will be stuck in a place in the middle of no way. This is just what happened to Polly. She went into the Wood between Worlds without the green ring. If Digory hadn't come into that place with the green ring to save her, she will be staying there forever.....By the way, just imagine that the Wood between Worlds is so large that you will never reached the end.....and imagine the number of pools of water in that place and you will realise that there could be thousands or even millions of worlds.....
