Hi Cindy -- The Magician's Nephew was written last, I believe, as a kind of prequel providing the backstory to the tales. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of socly@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 8:42 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Chronicles of Narnia I've just submitted C. S. Lewis' The Magician's Nephew. I pre-validated it, so unless something happened in the upload it should be a fun and easy validation. On the copyright-info page there is a note that the Chronicles "have been renumbered in compliance with the original wishes of the author." The copyright was renewed in 1983. I can't remember the order in which my children read it, but it was at least a decade before 1983. I don't remember titles The Magician's Nephew or The Horse and His Boy, but that probably is just my faulty memory. Does anyone happen to have an earlier Chronicles and know what the original order was? I keep thinking the first was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and that the adventure began when a boy went into the wardrobe - but then this book doesn't make any sense. I wonder if it was written later than the original set of books. The end of it implies that this precedes by a generation the story in The Lion . . . The copyright info page had two ISBN numbers, one for regular and one for library binding. The upload page wouldn't take both; I'm assuming, from the research I did and what the binding looks like, that this is a library binding book and that's the ISBN number I used. Is there a for-sure way to tell, does anybody know?
