Chronicles of Narnia Book List:



This series can be read in either publication or chronological order. The author originally intended for this to be read in publication order and that is what this website recommends. Late in his life the author did ponder whether the series could be read in chronological order after extensive revisions to the books, but because he never did complete those revisions, it is probably best to stick with the original publication order.
