The Creation of Narnia

[crjr9833]

I thought it was just so cool how C.S. Lewis described the creation of the world of Narnia.

[Dead Rain]

me too. in fact, MN is my favorite of the books. i especially liked when the lamp-post was sown and grew. that was cool.

[crjr9833]

Ya that was cool. And also when those animals like popped up out of the ground.

[Dead Rain]

yuh. and like that aslan was like singing and like the stuff grew and stuff.

[Dead Rain]

and then like how the water was runnign and stuff. and then when Uncle Andrew got stuck! that was clasic! haha

[crjr9833]

I also liked when Andrew was thought a tree by the talking animals. That was great too!!

[Dead Rain]

yeah. that really made me laugh. let's see... what else?

[crjr9833]

Well, there was that toffee tree. That was neat.

[Dead Rain]

oh yeah. that was cool. talk about only in our dreams, though!

[In a Stable]

Toffee tree...yum...
Oh sorry, I get distracted sometimes. The creation scene is one of my favorites to listen on Radio Theatre. If I can't sleep or I'm having nightmares, I just put on the second disc of the Magician's Nephew with the creation scene on it, and I let the sweet sound of Aslan's voice carry me away into a beautiful and peaceful sleep...

[crjr9833]

Ya, its very cool!!

[jennyjenjen56]

Magicians nephew and LLW are my favorite in the series. It's very beautiful how the beginning of narnia was depicted. :)

[Dead Rain]

heh heh. that's nice. calming, i'll bet, isn't it, In a Stable? oh and the part with Fledge too!

[Bitter Milton]

I'm so thankful i read these in the order they were published. MN was so exciting for me!

[Dead Rain]

what is that order? i never really knew.

[Lord Darcey]

I always felt bad for Digory, having to live with the guilt of accidentally bringing the first bit of evil into a pure new world, although I do like how Aslan called everything up, and the sunrise. And 'twould be fun to plant certain things and see what kinds of fruit would come of them. Like, if I planted a penny or something. Would the tree be copper, or would it just have very penny-like fruits?

[In a Stable]

Yeah, being able to plant all kinds of trees would be fun! I wonder what a chocolate tree would be like...

[daniel]

[daniel]

dead rain?? someone??? :(

[Dead Rain]

hey, great to have you, daniel. i'm not sure what you want, but i'll be happy to help in any way i can. do you think you could rephrase the question?

:D

P.S. why me? why did you say my name?

[rosymole]

Hey here Daniel ( i have a couple of friends called Daniel but i don't think you're either of them!)
if you mean information about the creation of Narnia it's best to read the Magicians Nephew (MN) and the the info straight form the horses mouth, as it were hehe!

[Nimbolina]

I just recently went to the library to take the first two books of the Narnia series home and I was so surprised because I didn't realize that The Magician's Nephew was considered the first book. Is this how C.S. Lewis intended it to be?

The creation of the world was so beautiful and I'm so ashamed at myself for not seeing how many religious parallels there were when I read through it. So beautiful to imagine Aslan's song which brought life and light into the world. I thought it was hilarious when the evil Queen ended up in our world and started causing chaos and having the whole town after her. It was so interesting to see the White Witch before she became the "White Witch" in the other books.

[Dead Rain]

well it is when Narnia was created, so therefore it automaticaly is the "first" because otherwise there would be no Narnia. actually.. i do believe that MN was one of the later books that he wrote(is that right, everyone? i'm not sure.). but... yeah. i've lost my train of though. sorry.

[Reepicheep1707]

For some reason, I've always loved Lantern Waste. I was watching the movie trailer for the movie, and I was so excited when I saw the lantern. :confused: I wonder how they could make a movie out of that, like how could they make Aslans song sound as beautiful as it is described? I find that idea quite difficult, I can't even picture the song, tune...etc. It just felt like I didn't need to hear it to know how amazing it must have been. These books are so deep, man.

[inkspot]

Somebody could go CGI crazy with Magician's Nephew!

[Tarkheena_Finduilas22]

Ahhhhh! More spoilers spoilers spoilers! :eek:

[Hwin_46]

what is that order? i never really knew.


order by numbers of the COR:
LWW
PC
VDT
SC
HHB
MN
LB

chronological (both our and Narnian time, I think, not sure if I'm right)
MN
LLW
HHB
PC
VDT
SC
LB

[inkspot]

I think you got it right, Hwin.

[Prince Caspian]

I think that the Magicians Nephew is the 2nd film that they should put out. I think it should go like this:
The Lion the Withc and the Wardrobe 1.
The Magicians Nephew 2.
Prince Caspian 3.
The Silver Chair 4.
Voyage of the Dawn Treader 5.
The Horse and His Boy 6.
and last but not least, you guessed it! The Last Battle comming in at # 7.

[waterhogboy]

I agree mainly with your order but, I think it has to go LLW, PC, VDT, SC - mainly because if you leave too big gaps, the kids that are familiar to one or more story will have aged too much...

[Tarkheena_Finduilas22]

OK I'm re-reading MN so it's OK now. Post as many spoilers as you wish.

The creation was interesting. I think it's a little far off from the real creation, but no one REALLY knows how it went. The real creation I mean.

Yes, I like this order best for the movies, too. This way, you get all the main adventures with Pevensies and Eustace first, then the nostalgic look at Narnia's creation, then the Last Battle, the end of Narnia.
