▲The sixth book written in ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'' series, and [[Prequel|the first one chronologically]],
In this prequel, two [[The Edwardian Era|Edwardian]] children, Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer, accidentally visit the dead world of Charn, where Digory falls for [[Schmuck Bait]], waking the [[Sealed Evil in a Can|Empress Jadis]]. She boasts about how she destroyed all life on her world, and forces the children to take her to London, where she [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|causes a public disturbance]]. Eventually Jadis, the children, Digory's wicked Uncle Andrew, and a cabbie and his horse get a front row seat for the creation of Narnia by Aslan. Jadis is exiled to the far North, the cabbie and his wife (who gets transported there by Aslan) becomes king and queen, and the children and Uncle Andrew are returned home.

* [[Above Good and Evil]]: Both Jadis and Uncle Andrew think this way. "Ours is a high and lonely destiny."
