That's an interesting point about the narration. Before Andalite Chronicles came out, if you heard there was going to be a book about Elfangor, you'd assume it would be all the heroic stuff he did as an adult - but really, it's pretty much everything but.
Same as The Ellimist Chronicles I guess - everyone assumed that would be a book from the Ellimist's POV, but really the Ellimist as we know him only comes in towards the end of the book, and even then it's several million years before the time the series starts.
Interesting that both of those are fascinating stories in their own right but not the stories that people would expect to hear.
