When I read them as a kid I'm not sure of the order I read them in, but I know that I didn't read Magicians Nephew first; when I reread them a few Summers back I read them with respect to internal chronology. Regardless, they held up remarkably well.
I read the Magicians Nephew first out of the books, but I had already seen TLW&W movie. >Regardless, they held up remarkably well.
They are very comfy. I put put them somewhere in between Alice in Wonderland and the Hobbit in tone.
A book my ma gave me to read when I was eleven, and that actually won the Caldecot back in the early 70's, is Eleanor Cameron's The Court of the Stone Children. This book not only made me a reader, but tremendously influenced what became one of my primary academic interests. Very comfy, and yet not read at all these days. Still possess a copy, and reread it from time to time.
I've read them in various orders. In fact I started with Dawn Treader, having read an excerpt of it in my 3rd grade reading textbook (the part where Eustace turns into a Dragon).
Still, advice and especially changing the actual numbering on a box set is really infuriating. Magician's Nephew was clearly written as a prequel intended to be read by people already familiar with the other books.
Agreed. Still, in Asland's final explanation to the kids concerning all that's happened in LB, there's a.. something.. that pairs well with the entirety of MN. Nonetheless I agree
It takes place post LWW before the kids leave Narnia and are still reigning as lords. That's really the only connecting string. Otherwise, it's an independent story.
What do you guys think about The Last Battle?
I always found it depressing as a kid, my memory is hazy and I don't want to spoil it if anyone wants to read the series, but I think it was an improper way to end a fantasy story. C.S Lewis would say Christianity is the greatest story and the series is obviously analogous to it, but I think he should have had good win in a more traditional sense, like how Tolkien did it. Like a story is a story, a self contained thing but Lewis brings christian "reality" directly into it, it's very weird.
Didn't care much for it as a kid, but it wound up being my favorite volume upon reread a few years back. The idea of an incorruptible in a world of absolute corruption really appealed to me. Plus, those trolls ...
I read it after the last of my grandparents passed away within a year of each other. Even though I didn’t get even get choked up at their funerals, getting to the last couple pages of the book when Reepicheep and Caspian appear had me break down sobbing for about thirty minutes straight.

Can I read Horse without having read the others?

Yes, pretty much
It's the most detached from the mainline of the series
Chronologically
t. Read them multiple times each
