As the books in the Narnia series are fairly short I thought we should discuss how we want to read the series. For anyone who wants some descriptions of the books, their history, illustrations and more this is a great site.
The books tell the story in this order: Book 1, The Magician's Nephew Book 2, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Book 3, The Horse and His Boy Book 4, Prince Caspian Book 5, The Voyage of "The Dawn Treader" Book 6, The Silver Chair Book 7, The Last Battle but they were published in this order Book 2, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Book 4, Prince Caspian Book 5, The Voyage of "The Dawn Treader" Book 6, The Silver Chair Book 3, The Horse and His Boy Book 1, The Magician's Nephew Book 7, The Last Battle As they're fairly short books we should also discuss whether we want to spend a month on each book or whether we should read two books at a time and then read the final book and have an overall discussion of themes acrosss the series (such as characters' journeys, good v evil, courage, etc) in a separarate month. The decision about whether we read them in the story order or published order will decide which books are paired together. --------------------  March's Book Nook: The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge/Skellig by David Almond "THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED!" roared Black.
