Into the Wardrobe

I'm not sure they publish them in that order, anymore. At least, not in the US. It may be that in the uK they are in proper published order. I have the same problem and I just made a list of the correct order for her. *shrugs*

I simply took out my trusty Sharpie, blackened out the "book" number on the spine of the dust cover, and re-sleeved them in the box in the correct order. There is an inner page in the front of the book that lists them in the (travesty!!) wrong, published order, but I haven't cut that out yet.

The publishers must think the children (or adults) reading them for the first time have no brains, and won't 'get' the connections, when Lewis brings it around full circle in the last books. It ruins the surprise!!

I believe are the most recently published set to be correctly numbered. There are several used available at
