The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis

[Nurvingiel]

Let's talk about another great Inkling - C.S. Lewis! He wrote many acclaimed non-fiction books, mostly about Christianity (and none of which I have read).

He also wrote one of the greatest children's book series - The Chronicles of Narnia.

I will warn to those who haven't read this amazing tale, that this entire thread will be full of spoilers. Go read the books, they're great!


One thing I've wondered about the series:
Timewise, books 3 to 7 fit in the timeline of the second book - "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe".

"The Magician's Nephew" (book 1) is the prequel to LWW. Then all books following that must be within LWW, because at the end Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter go back to Earth.

I hope I haven't confused people and put them off this thread!

What questions and/or discussion points do you have about these fine novels?
