What if Lewis had written one more Narnia book?

What if Lewis had penned another Chronicle of Narnia, or even a short story? If the power was in your hands, what would it be about and where would it take place?
Perhaps Peter's adventures north of Narnia, battling the giants? The journey of King Gale to the Lone Islands, where he then delivered the Lone Islanders from a dragon? Or maybe an origins story about the Lady of the Green Kirtle, in a similar fashion to how Jadis's character was expanded in The Magician's Nephew? What about a book that explains how the country of Calormene was established and tells us where its unique culture came from?
Personally, I've always loved the idea of a Chronicle about King Frank and Queen Helen's children. The idea of the first human family in Narnia, living in Cair Paravel when the whole world was so fresh and new and unexplored, is just a really lovely thought. Not to mention it would be very cool to see how Archenland came to be founded by the second son. And who knows what plots Jadis might have dreamt up, beyond the reach of the Tree of Protection's magic?
Very fun stuff to think about.
