- July 1 -Dragons and Dryads: Magic, Myth, and Poetry -

- July 8 -Loyal as a Badger, valiant as a mouse: Honour and Duty -
“Peter did not feel very brave; indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do. He rushed straight up to the monster and aimed a slash of his sword at its side.”
- July 15 -Talking Beasts: Coronation & Kingship, Unveiling of Identity -
“something was happening at last”
- July 22 -A Very Serious Thing: Narnian Warnings -
“But kill me, and the burnings and torturings in these northern lands shall become a tale to frighten the world a thousand years hence. Beware! Beware! Beware! The bolt of Tash falls from above”
