Q: Why aren’t they doing The Horse and His Boy? Isn’t that the next book in the series?
A: When Harper Collins took over the publishing, they re-ordered the series chronologically and set THHB to be the third book in the series, directly after LWW. But, LWW was actually the first book to be published. According to Douglas Gresham, they are making the films in "the most logically consistent order for filming." For more information on the ordering of the series and an intelligent discussion of the pro’s and con’s, please click here to read Andrew Rilestone’s excellent article.
