Dear friends list,

Somebody recently mentioned their theory about the order in which the Narnia books should be read. If if was you, please remind me. Thank you.

I didn't do it in any detail, but it might have been me.

(I believe very strongly that LWW is the first book. I am agnostic on the topic of whether the Magician's Nephew or the Last Battle is last, though I have a number of friends who very strongly favor the latter.)

IAWTC. (I always felt Last Battle was last, FWIW.)

Isn't that the order Lewis chose when he had 'em published in the States? Or is that apocryphal?
