The series was not planned beforehand as she thinks. When I wrote The Lion I did not know I was going to write any more. Then I wrote P.

So perhaps it does not matter very much in which order anyone read them. I'm not even sure that all the others were written in the same order in which they were published."<BR/><BR/>-- CSL, <I>Letters to Children</I>Patrick Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095377877712197984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9891374.post-1168319540015412392007-01-08T23:12:00.000-06:002007-01-08T23:12:00.000-06:00Nooo!

You must start with the LW&W!<BR/><BR/>Sorry, that's just my humble opinion. :-)<BR/><BR/>But to be honest, if I remember correctly, I believe even CSL said he didn't really care which order one read his Narnia tales.Patrick Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095377877712197984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9891374.post-1168296255793453942007-01-08T16:44:00.000-06:002007-01-08T16:44:00.000-06:00That's the plan.

I started reading it out loud to the kids--it's only the first or second time we've done any real books out loud. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't sure it would keep their interest, but we finished 50 pages yesterday afternoon, so I guess it did. <BR/><BR/>BTW--I may be able to help you out with the Shaeffer trilogy book.Matt Gummhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698469400042045105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9891374.post-1168295471761011422007-01-08T16:31:00.000-06:002007-01-08T16:31:00.000-06:00Ooh good start.
