"'Supposing I told you I'd been in a place where animals can talk and where there are--er--enchantments and dragons--and--well, all the sorts of things you have in fairy tales.' Scrubb felt terribly awkward as he said this and got red in the face. 'How did you get there?' said Jill. She also also felt curiously shy. 'The only way you can--by Magic." Through an ordinary doorway, Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole stumble upon Narnia. But it is not their own wishes that bring them to the enchanted land; it is the will of the mighty Aslan. The Great Lion sends them on a mission to find Prince Rilian, who has been missing for ten years. Together with Puddleglum, the gloomy Marsh-wiggle, Eustace and Jill must brave menacing giants and other grave dangers before finding the Underland and the spellbound Prince. And their troubles have only just begun" --
