Disappointed with _Chronicles of Narnia_

[Joe Bento]

Remember that Narnia was written over 50 years ago.  I don't believe
the books were written in chronological order.  I believe "The Lion,
the Witch, and the Wardrobe" was actually written first, but it is not
the first book presented in the collection.

Narnia is certainly different than HP in the fact it really doesn't
take place in this world.  HP is written as though the wizard world
actually exists within the muggle world, and is written to make one
think that such a world actually exists, or could potentially exist.

I've never listened to an audio book.  I'm just finishing up the
Narnia Chronicles now, and should consider purchasing (or checking out
of the library) the audio book version.  

Is there a preference to a UK vs US reader as there is for the HP
audio books?   

Joe
