Biography
The Magician's Nephew In The Magician's Nephew, the sixth book to be published but the first in the chronology of Narnia, Digory is a young boy. Digory's Uncle Andrew has made magic rings that allow whomever wears them to travel to other worlds by passing through the Wood between the Worlds. Uncle Andrew first tricks Digory's friend Polly Plummer into trying the ring; when she disappears, he then blackmails his nephew into following her with another ring in order to bring her back. After leaving the Wood and arriving in another world, Digory breaks an enchantment and inadvertently releases Jadis, the future White Witch, from her dead world Charn, and accidentally brings her back to London, and soon after, into the newly-created Narnia. While there, however, Aslan sends him on a mission, which allows a magical tree to grow in Narnia which will keep the Witch at bay for nine hundred Narnian years. He took an apple from this tree back to the normal world, and used it to save his sick mother's life; he then buried the core, which grew into a peculiar, and possibly magical, tree in his world. The tree fell down at the end of the book; not having the heart to turn it into firewood, he had it crafted into the wardrobe which is the portal to Narnia in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Narnia is a fantasy world created by C. S. Lewis as a location for his Chronicles of Narnia, a series of seven fantasy novels for children. ...

The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Digory appears (not yet named, as the Magician's Nephew was not written yet), at the beginning and the end of the story as the elderly Professor; his house is the place where the Pevensie children enter the wardrobe that leads into Narnia. The wardrobe was actually carved from the tree Digory planted, after it had been blown down in a storm. Professor Kirke is therefore the first to believe Lucy Pevensie's stories (probably due to his own experiences), though he doesn't tell them why. He instead tells them to look at it logically, saying "Either your sister is mad, or she's lying, or she's telling the truth. She's not mad and you say she never lies, so we must assume she is telling the truth". Georgie Henley as Lucy Pevensie in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe the 2005 film Lucy Pevensie is one of the major characters from C. S. Lewiss The Chronicles of Narnia. ...

This explains why Edmund and Lucy are forced to stay with their cousin Eustace when their parents go abroad. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a fantasy novel by C. S. Lewis. ...
The Last Battle In The Last Battle, Digory dies in a train accident and is pulled into Narnia, with other listed major characters. He and Polly both become young again. They are thus allowed to take up lives in New Narnia.
