Publisher's practice

How G. Bles marked its first editions

Only the first five Narnia books are Bles publications: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950) to The Horse and His Boy (1954). The Magician's Nephew and The Last Battle were published by The Bodley Head, so a set of Narnia firsts mixes the two publishers.
