The exact order that these books go in, to be honest, I'm not quite sure which is exactly the 'correct' order. However. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe I think is the first book you should read because it just seems to make sense to do it that way.
This book is the first book in Publication order. The publication order is The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Trader, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, The Magician's Nephew, and The Last Battle.
The CHRONOLOGICAL order is The Magician's Nephew, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Trader, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle.
So I guess it just depends on which you prefer.
When Lucy, Peter, Susan, and Edmund got sent away from Lodon during the war due to the air-raids, they landed in a home with an old Professor and his housekeeper in a very large home that the house keeper often took people through on tours. One day, when the four children were playing a game of hide-and-seek Lucy found a room with a wardrobe inside, she got inside the wardrobe to hide and stumbled upon a completely different world, Narnia. A place that nobody believed her that existed when she came back to tell her brothers and sister about. Soon they discover the world themselves and go an quite an adventure while they are there, becoming friends with a Lion, and a run in with a cold hearted Witch.
Oh.My.Goodness. C.S. Lewis is amazing. Have you ever read one of those books that when you finish it, you close the cover, smile, and just sigh and take a moment to absorb it all?
That was this book.
The story was written wonderfully. I love how at the end the time that they were there was taken into consideration and the way the spoke was much more 'formal' than what they had spoke from in the beginning. I also loved all the fantasy aspect with the different creatures, and Aslan.
Some of the chapters have really cool illustrations in them too.
It's just a really wonderful book, for anyone at any age, it's just a wonderful world to get lost in.
