PS if you answered 'The Last Battle' to the first question, you will have to defend your answer in comments. DISCUSS.
PPS the order in which I listed the books is not in fact the order in which you should read them. Publication order all the way, yo.

It was sort of both, I guess. I did have a little archway in there and the idea that one passed into a different level of reality by going through it. There was also a Tree of Life and a plastic lion and a bunch of popsicle-stick Naiads and Dryads that I would make dresses for out of fallen flower petals.
