HUGE plothole in books!

[Glenstorm the Great]

Anything goes really. I like the black market idea...

Dont mice have short time spans here on earth? So maybe they have short time spans in Narnia too. Kind of like cats.. they are adults at only 3 years. So its entirely possible that Reepicheep is only 3 years old.

[DamselJillPole]

It is Reepicheeps fate. For all he knew he could of dreamed it. Kind of like what Aslan did to Lucy in the PC movie that led her to finding the Narnian's. Aslan must of sent a dryad to reepicheep in a dream to prepare his purpose for one day.

Or maybe it was a real dryad... from Archenland.
Dryads could have fled there when the Telmarines took over; we just don't know. We do know, however, that the trees themselves can move, o it might be possible. She/he could have come over the mountains to see baby Reep. (Aw, he would be such a cute baby with his little sword! )

And why should how long mice live in our world affect Talking Beasts in Narnia? They only resemble our animals in looks, not minds. Perhaps their lives are longer, too.

Writing books and fitting all the information together is as hard as it is (I would know), but writing a whole series of seven books would be harder to remember everything you've written. So I, of course, agree with everyone who thinks C. S. Lewis just plain forgot!

[Liberty Hoffman]

[wrath]: that is very likely and possible! it's most likely what happened!
