Uncle Andrew

Uncle Andrewis a fictional character from C. S. Lewis's fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia. He is prominent in the book The Magician's Nephew. He is Digory's Uncle.

Uncle Andrew is the "magician" of which the title speaks, although he only copies the magic tricks he learns from books. He is initially portrayed as a frightening figure, although later on we see that Uncle Andrew is less than intimidating in comparison to a true evil person, such as Queen Jadis. He is not exactly a villain, but he causes much trouble during the book both intentionally and incompetantly. He has been described as prideful as a peacock, and he has a drinking problem.
