I didn't realize that The Horse and His Boy was in a different order. In the tale, all the Peavensies are still in Narnia ruling before they've chased the White Stag and returned from Narnia for the first time. |
Yes. The "ordinary" order for American sales is:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Prince Caspian
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Silver Chair
The Horse and His Boy
The Magician's Nephew
The Last Battle
Note that the Magician's Nephew is actually the first (chronologically) of the books.
