The Magician's Nephew was written by C. S. Lewis as more than a simple children's story. For Lewis, Digory Kirke, the titular character of the story was deeply influenced by his own childhood experiences--a childhood defined by tragedy and triumph. These influences seem to be much stronger than other characters such as Lucy Pevensie and her siblings Peter, Edmund and Susan in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.

How much of Digory's own experiences mirror Lewis'? Find out in this episode!
