   Said preferred order is based on a letter Lewis wrote to a boy   
   once. And it is the chronological order.   
      
   However, as I have just explained in another posting, it's a popular   
   opinion that Lewis was simply wrong about this, him knowing his own   
   works perhaps too well to see what would be the most giving order for   
   a new reader.
