In most sets of the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S.Lewis, the Magician's Nephew is considered to be book one in the series. The reason for this is, this is Lewis' creation story. The book starts out in our world and the main character (protagonist) a young boy named Digory who lives in England with his sick mother. Through the means of magical rings, Digory, his uncle, and a young girl travel to the magical land of Narnia. Here they run into Aslan, a magnificent lion and creator of Narnia. In fact, they witness the creation of Narnia. Here too Lewis uses the power of language and words to bring Narnia into being just like God did.
The White Witch, also known as Jadis, symbolizes the devil and destruction as well as temptation. She will later in the Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe throw Narnia into an eternal winter. The reason why she symbolizes the devil is she tempts Edmund with Turkish Delight just like Satan tempted Eve with the forbidden fruit.
