Lefay-who was rumored to have had fairy blood and to have dabbled in dark magics-bequeathed him a little box. When Digory demands to know where Polly has gone, Uncle Andrew tells him a story.
As soon as she touches the ring, she suddenly disappears. Uncle Andrew emerges from a chair and frightens the children by locking them in the room, then flatters Polly with the gift of a shining, faintly humming yellow ring. One day, the children accidentally stumble into Uncle Andrew’s study when they think they’re entering a neighbor’s attic. Polly and Digory become friends and spend the summer exploring the interconnected attics of the row houses. The two children speculate about Digory’s “mad” Uncle Andrew and Andrew’s mysterious study. He’s living with his old, unmarried aunt and uncle, the Ketterleys, because his mother is dying and his father is away in India. One day, Polly Plummer, a young girl living in a London row house, is surprised to meet a young boy, Digory, who’s moved in next door.
