Re: [thelionscall] Dawn Treader

Talking beasts are only shown to come from inside the boarders of the country of Narnia itself, although they can travel and live outside if they choose.  Calormen and Telmar, for instance, has none, and Archenland only has talking beasts they hired from Narnia.  Since the entire adventure takes place outside of Narnia, its no wonder.

I never really thought about the lack of talking beasts in this book, but you're right!  I guess I was appeased by the other characters who wouldn't be found in out world, such as the dufflepuds, the dragon (who never talked... right?), Ramandu and his daughter... The Mer-people who Lucy sees towards the end seem to qualify more as people than beasts.  Maybe the animals they ride and shepherd (don't have my book with me at the moment, so I can't remember exactly what they are... seahorses maybe?) are talking beasts, but they just couldn't carry on a conversation due to the water barrier?

[thelionscall] Dawn Treader

I’m rereading Dawn Treader right now and 2 things strike me as unusual:

 

Ø       There is an old picture in Eustace’s house of that someone painted of the Dawn Treader.  Where did this picture come from?  If it was a Narnian painter, they would have had to go back in our time to deliver it here.  If it was a painter from our world, he/she would have had to go forward in time to see the ship and then back in time to return to our world.  We know that there is no strict connection between our time and Narnian time, but this is the only example of being able to go backwards in time from Narnia to England.

RE: [thelionscall] Original Order (written order)

Hello Michelle,

 

Here’s the order of the original publication.  We know that Lewis wrote at least the first 4 books in this order.  Lewis wrote the last three quickly and almost simultaneously, so even he didn’t exactly remember the order he’d written the last 3.

 

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

 

Blessings,

 

Dan Stanley

Hi all,

 

I have a question.  I know the order of the books was changed a few years ago starting with The Magicians Nephew then the LW&W.  I was just wondering what the original order was as I would like to read it in the order C.S. Lewis wrote the Chronicles.

 

Would be very happy if someone could let me know!!
