Notes
- From the series record (The Chronicles of Narnia): Dual ordering: publication (1950-56) vs internal chronology (HarperCollins renumbering, 1994); scholars generally prefer publication order.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.

- Internal chronology, within The Chronicles of Narnia: position 2 of 7: previous The Magician's Nephew (1955) · next The Horse and His Boy (1954)
