Thoughts from Narnia

"There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it."

That is one of the best first lines ever. I have finally completed Prince Caspian and am now reading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Voayage is one of my favorites in the series for sure. Partially because of Reepicheep. These two are supposedly books 4 and 5 but are actually books 2 and 3. The inside cover says "The HarperCollins editions of The Chronicles of Narnia have been renumbered in compliance with the original wishes of the author,C.S. Lewis. This is the first time the series has appeared in this order in the United States." What the heck. The original wishes of the author...what does that even mean...one night, over wine, when he was mentally confused, his "friend" heard him say 'I don't know if I might like them in chronological order' and decided to spread the 'truth' that Lewis wanted them reordered?! When I get to heaven, me and Jack are going to have a chat about what the truth really is. I could also ask God but I know Lewis will be there so I may as well ask him.
