Digory and the lost king
Angela McAllister
- Reading
- Read the opening together first, then pause to discuss the characters and tone. Continue independently or aloud once you know whether the story feels comfortable and engaging.
- Themes
- A lost king and Digory’s role: The title links a character called Digory with a lost king, but gives no further information about their circumstances. The relationship could involve seeking, helping, opposing or understanding, but the book’s treatment cannot be determined.
- Worth knowing
- Before choosing it, check the book itself for the nature of the king, any danger or loss, and whether the story’s tone fits the child reading it.
