I think also _The Chronicles of Narnia_ and #_Gormenghast_, but I'm not sure. LotR is not a series; it is a single book that was published in three physical volumes. (Here's the test: Can you pick up any book in the set and read it as a whole?) I'm not sure about Gormenghast. The Narnia Chronicles, definitely a series with multiple POVs. #> (And I believe "trilogy" is the wrong word for what we're #> talking about, but I can't remember the right one.) # #Three-volume novel? LotR & such? "Three-decker" has often been used. -- Mark A. Mandel http://cracksandshards.com a Steven Brust Dragaera fan website
