A/N:
For everyone who liked "Of Horses and Boys", a sequel is coming sometime early next year. Or maybe just another chapter or two. I'll decide later. Thanks for reviewing, by the way.These summaries of CoN were written in about two hours under the influence of spiked hot chocolate and insomnia. Nor will these summaries really help you understand nuances concerning the stories. They're simply here to make you groan or laugh. Review, flame at will. I don't particularly care.
And without further ado, here is the entire Chronicles of Narnia, the condensed version.
