    Hardy Boys, Beatrix Potter, Encyclopedia, and the Dictionary. No joke.

        Correct me if I'm wrong; but I think it goes like this -

        If you follow the chronological order of the series:

        1. The Magician's Nephew
        2. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
        3. The Horse and His Boy
        4. Prince Caspian
        5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
        6. The Silver Chair
        7. The Last Battle

        Readers argue that the books must be read in the order in which they were first published:

        1. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
        2. Prince Caspian
        3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
        4. The Silver Chair
        5. The Horse and His Boy
        6. The Magician's Nephew
        7. The Last Battle.

        Although the originally published order is not chronological, it does enhance the process of discovery about the magical world of Narnia IMHO.

              I think I had the full series for all 3 of the above. I can't get over how much I use to read and now I barely read at all

                      We end up getting involved in so many other distractions nowadays, like [ms] the forum & the arcarde. Not that I'm complaining

                            yea, the first list is how i read that he intended them to be read and the second list is how i read them in the box set i bought as a kid.

                            steve what order is your box set in?
                            Don't let anyone drive you crazy when you know it's in walking distance.
