Do we need a Narnia category? There are quite a few references to the books now... --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 15:18, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

The Pevensies went to Narnia because Aslan wanted them to know him better there so that they could learn to know him here.  Edward and Eustace both learned to be much better people there.  If half his furniture has portals, then it seems to me that Aslan is *really* trying hard to reach Black Hat! {{unsigned ip|162.158.179.214}}

The explanation refers to The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe as being the first Narnia book. However, it is only arguably so. As I understand it, it was the first one written, but as it turned into a series, C.S. Lewis wrote another book to be book 1 of the series, The Magician's Nephew, as I recall, making this actually the second book of the series. But Book 1 seems often skipped, especially in adaptations (such as the BBC miniseries series of the 80s and the more recent movies), so Wardrobe is the best known and Book 1 seems often overlooked. Nevertheless, it IS the first book now, and has been for decades. - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/162.158.62.21|162.158.62.21]] 03:33, 20 January 2017 (UTC) I finally signed up!

:When reading, 'The Magician's Nephew' feels like it fits more naturally as the sixth book (which is when it was published), even though its events predate 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe'. A similar thing happens with the fifth published book 'The Horse and His Boy', which has events that take place within the time jump in the last chapter of 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe'.

::Also, I used to collect copies of this series. Most of the copies I have have the book number on them, and the first time I saw a collection with 'The Magician's Nephew' as the first book was in the mid-late 1990s. {{unsigned|Thaledison}}
