Advice to an Intelligent Reader
from an Intelligent Reader or
Reading This Will Make You Smarter
This book has many spoilers! Please read the Chronicles ofNarnia first. Only then read this Pocket Companion. I can't beyour companion until you have "gone there" first.
C. S. Lewis wrote these books for you, and he meantyou to read them with your head and your heart and yourfeelings. The books are so exciting that you will probablyrace through them the first time. OK.
But when you reread them, pay attention to the colorwords, the verbs, the adjectives, and the adverbs.
Try to avoid looking for hidden meanings, as if theChronicles were codebooks.
C. S. Lewis was very careful not to decode the Chroniclesfor the children who wrote him about their meaning.Typical of his responses is the answer he made to HilaNewman when she wrote to him about the meaning of theending of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader:
As to Aslan's other name, well I want you to guess. Hasthere never been anyone in this world who (1) Arrivedat the same time as Father Christmas (2) Said he wasthe son of the Great Emperor (3) Gave himself up forsomeone else's fault to be jeered at and killed by wicked people (4) Came to life again (5) Is sometimesspoken of as a Lamb (see the end of The DawnTreader). Don't you really know His name in thisworld? Think it over and let me know your answer!(Letters to Children, 3 June 1953)
In Which Order Should the
Chronicles Be Read?
The Order by Year of First Publication --
the Canonical Order
Before 1994 there was only one reading order, what scholarshave come to call the canonical order, the order in whichthe chronicles were first published, and they were numberedaccordingly:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (published 1950)
Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (published 1951)
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader the Caspian triad (published 1952)
The Silver Chair (published 1953)
The Horse and His Boy (published 1954)
The Magician's Nephew (published 1955)
The Last Battle (published 1956)
So, although C. S. Lewis completed The Horse and HisBoy before The Silver Chair, the latter was published first, inorder to keep together the triad of books in which Caspianis a major character ...

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.

El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
