RE: [narnia] a question on THE BOY AND HIS HORSE
February 8, 2006
"Fair Consorts, Let us now alight from our horses and follow this beast into the thicket; for in all my days I never hunted a nobler quarry."
"Sir," said the others, "even so let us do."...
"Fair friends, here is a great marvel, for I seem to see a tree of iron."
"Madam," said King Edmund, "if you look will upon it you shall see it is a pillar of iron with a lantern set on the top thereof."
"By the Lion's Mane, a strange device," said King Peter, "to set a lantern here where the treesa cluster so thick about it and so high above it that if it were lit it should give light to no man!"
"Sir," said Queen Lucy. "By the likelihood when this post and this lamp were set here there were smaller trees in the place, or fewer, or none. For this is a young wood and the iron post is old." And they stood looking upon it.
Then said King Edmund, "I know not how it is, but this lamp on the post worketh upon me strangely. It runs in my mind that I have seen the like before; as it were in a dream, or in the dream of a dream."
"Sir," answered they all, "it is even so with us also."...
"And more," said Queen Lucy, "for it will not go out of my mind that if we pass this post and lantern either we shall find strange adventures or else some great change of our fortunes."...
So these Kings and Queens entered the thicket, and before they had gone a score of paces they all remembered that the thing they had seen was called a lamp-post, and before they had gone twenty more they noticed that they were making their way not through branches but through coats. And the next moment they all came tumbling out of a wardrobe door into the empty room, and they were no longer Kings and Queens in their hunting array but just Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy in their old clothes. It was the same day and the same hour of the day............................................................................"
Taken from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
-----Original Message-----According to the Narnia timeline, however, the story of Horse and his Boy takes place only a year or two before the hunting of the white stag, actually. (forgive me for not remembering quite when it was). I suspect Lewis just didn't think that much about it. It's true, though, Lucy seems most likely to remember.

We don't know when Horse and His Boy happens, therefor it is probably still in the time where they do remember coming to Narnia. Also, just because it seems like a dream doesn't mean they forget, and of them all, I'll bet Lucy remembers the best because of the person she is.

queens got to narnia. But i dont understand. In the lion the witch and
the wardrobe, the four pevensies had forgotten everything about how
they got in there, they didnt even remember the lamp post when they saw
it again.
I hope someone can solve this for me!
