Re: [thelionscall] Re: Prince Caspian location!!!

I suppose in a way, it's a good thing Lewis doesn't give the characters precise ages even if it results in some confusion arising from different assumptions readers will make. If I had read the books when I was 15 and saw that it was about kids 6-13 or whatever, I might have lost interest. Although it would have been nice if Lewis had planned out the books in advance and thereby eliminated all discrepancies.

I think you may have hit on a bit of a discrepency in the time-line there Daniel.  We know that Lewis didn't map out a Narnian timeline for the stories, so there may be some discrepencies here and there.

Re: [thelionscall] Re: Prince Caspian location!!!

Hmm. You could be right about that...I'm thinking of VDT where Edmund and Caspian treat each other as equals. How long after PC did VDT take place?

(Daniel S. I don't recall where Peter calls Caspian a kid. I'll look for that.)

I've always imagined him as closer to Edmund's age and probably a bit younger.  Because of the extra time between movies, I would not be surprised if they made the gap between stories two years to match, as well.  I guess Caspian would need to be a little older than I think of him, though, since he marries about 3-4 Narnian years later.

Of course, Lewis never explicitly states ages and I don't find the "official chronology" all that convincing...

That's the last thing we need really.  And I doubt that Gresham would allow any such thing.  Besides, Susan would likely be several years older, especially with the movie Susan aging a couple of years.
