   >I suggest, if you read the Narnia stories, that you start with "The lion, the   
   >witch and the wardrobe", and go on reading them in publication order,   
      
   That is stupid advice! Read Jack Lewis's opening paragraphs in 'The   
   Magician's Nephew' as to why it's important to read it first!   
      
   Taking your advice, reading the LWW first, means that the wardrobe   
   exists before its made from the wood of a tree from Narnia!
