When did C.S. Lewis start to write Narnia?

Answer 1

C.S. Lewis wrote the books of Narnia in the following manner:

• 1.1 The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)
• 1.2 Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951)
• 1.3 The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
• 1.4 The Silver Chair (1953)
• 1.5 The Horse and His Boy (1954)
• 1.6 The Magician's Nephew (1955)
• 1.7 The Last Battle (1956)

The dates above are NOT the dates they were written, but are the dates they were published.

When HarperCollins took over the publication of the books in America, they decided to keep numbering the books, but on the recommendation of Lewis' stepson, Douglas Gresham, they adopted the order that follows Narnian Chronology, i.e:

1. The Magicians Nephew
2. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
3. The Horse and His Boy
4. Prince Caspian
5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
6. The Silver Chair
7. The Last Battle

This is also the order followed by the current British editions, published by Fontana Lions.
