What is the order of books in The Mennyms series?

The Mennyms series, written by Eleanor Farjeon, is a bit tricky when it comes to reading order because it was written in a non-chronological fashion. There isn't a single perfect order, but here are a couple of suggestions:

Option 1: Chronological order of the events in the Mennyms' lives

1. The Little Bookroom (This book introduces the Mennyms, focusing on the siblings' lives)

2. The Wishing-Chair (This book mainly follows the adventures of the Wishing-Chair and the family's experiences with it)

3. The Cobweb Castle (This book tells the story of the Mennyms' journey to find Cobweb Castle)

4. The Mennyms and the Mennyms (This book focuses on the Mennyms' life and their relationship with their cousins)

Option 2: Order of publication

1. The Wishing-Chair (1926)

2. The Cobweb Castle (1929)

3. The Little Bookroom (1934)

4. The Mennyms and the Mennyms (1949)

Ultimately, the best way to read the Mennyms series is to choose the order that suits you best. You can start with any book, and the stories are engaging enough to be enjoyed individually. However, if you want a more chronological experience, the first option is recommended.

It's also worth noting that the Mennyms series is a part of a larger collection of books by Eleanor Farjeon called "The Bookroom" series. If you're interested in exploring more of her work, you can check out those books as well.
