El sobrino del mago

Lewis's decision to explore how Narnia was created adds a mythic layer to the series. I wonder if he had a particular myth or story in mind when crafting this origin story.

The depiction of magic as both wondrous and dangerous made me think about how children perceive power and responsibility. Was that balance intentional?

The way Digory and Polly handle their choices feels very deliberate. I’m curious how much of their moral growth was planned versus developed during writing.
