Chronicles of .....

Narina or Narnia ?
Do you know that its actually Narnia and not Narina. I
I read the first 2 books of series always assuming and reading that its Narina, maybe because its easier to say, seems like a more natural word. But when started the 3rd one, the name suddenly became Narnia! Well, I of course need to go back and check what the first 2 said, did they make a huge type in the first 2 books, or did Lewis suddenly decided to change the name in 3rd book. Googling for both the names result in proper references to the books with both names! So its not just me, but the whole world is confused.

Tulika, thats strange that u didnt read the word properly. For me, it was from the start "Narnia" but surely there are lots of words that i miss-pronounce or take for granted and fell into trouble while using the word in public. ;) Thats normal. Sometimes we tend to read and see what we wish to and ignore the actual spelling.
