The_Complete_Chronicles_of_Narnia_(volumes_1-7,_in_order_of_publication)

After the King came Eustace and Poggin the Dwarf. Poggin was telling Eustace the
names of all the Narnian trees, birds, and plants which he didn't know already.
Sometimes Eustace would tell him about English ones.
After them came Puzzle, and after him Jill and Jewel walking very close together. Jill
had, as you might say, quite fallen in love with the Unicorn. She thought- and she wasn't
far wrong - that he was the shiningest, delicatest, most graceful animal she had ever met:
and he was so gentle and soft of speech that, if you hadn't known, you would hardly have
believed how fierce and terrible he could be in battle.
"Oh, this is nice!" said Jill. "Just walking along like this. I wish there could be more of
this sort of adventure. It's a pity there's always so much happening in Narnia."
But the Unicorn explained to her that she was quite mistaken. He said that the Sons and
Daughters of Adam and Eve were brought out of their own strange world into Narnia
only at times when Narnia was stirred and upset, but she mustn't think it was always like
that. In between their visits there were hundreds and thousands of years when peaceful
King followed peaceful King till you could hardly remember their names or count their
numbers, and there was really hardly anything to put into the History Books. And he
went on to talk of old Queens and heroes whom she had never heard of. He spoke of
Swanwhite the Queen who had lived before the days of the White Witch and the Great
Winter, who was so beautiful that when she looked into any forest pool the reflection of
her face shone out of the water like a star by night for a year and a day afterwards. He
spoke of Moonwood the Hare who had such ears that he could sit by Caldron Pool under
the thunder of the great waterfall and hear what men spoke in whispers at Cair Paravel.
He told how King Gale, who was ninth in descent from Frank the first of all Kings, had
sailed far away into the Eastern seas and delivered the Lone Islanders from a dragon and
how, in return, they had given him the Lone Islands to be part of the royal lands of Narnia
for ever. He talked of whole centuries in which all Narnia was so happy that notable
dances and feasts, or at most tournaments, were the only things that could be
remembered, and every day and week had been better than the last. And as he went on,
the picture of all those happy years, all the thousands of them, piled up in Jill's mind till it
was rather like looking down from a high hill on to a rich, lovely plain full of woods and
waters and cornfields, which spread away and away till it got thin and misty from
distance. And she said:
"Oh, I do hope we can soon settle the Ape and get back to those good, ordinary times.
And then I hope they'll go on for ever and ever and ever. Our world is going to have an
end some day. Perhaps this one won't. Oh Jewel wouldn't it be lovely if Narnia just went
on and on - like what you said it has been?"
"Nay, sister," answered Jewel, "all worlds draw to an end, except Aslan's own country."
"Well, at least," said Jill, "I hope the end of this one is millions of millions of millions of
years away - hallo! what are we stopping for?"
