"The story is in Roman times when Jesus is alive. It is about a boy named Daniel who hates Romans. At the beginning he is a thief who lives with other men in a mountain. His leader puts him in Capernaum where he meets Jesus of Nazareth. Daniel creates a new group of boys. They one day want to lead others in a fight against the Romans. Daniel starts meeting Jesus often. When Daniel brought his sister with him to Capernaum she started healing from demons that possessed her. During the story, one of Jesus's miracles happened when he fed thousands of people following him on shore. In the end Jesus heals Daniel's sister from a fever."

They first went into a dying world named Charn where they meet a witch who is evil. Polly, a friend of Digory's, joined him and they went back to Earth with the witch, who destroyed a little bit of London. Then with Uncle Andrey, a cabby (whose wife was brought in later by Aslan), his horse Strawberry (renamed by Aslan, Fledge, when he became a flying horse), the children, and the witch witnessed the beginning of Narnia created by Aslan. The witch flees them and will become an enemy of Narnia. They plant a magic apple which grows into a tree and Digory is able to save his ill mother with one. It is the beginning of all of Narnia's stories."
