Thanks! Yeah, the Golden Age has the definite ring of a mythos that grew up significantly after the fact, particularly since one of the few things we know about the Pevensies' reign is that it was unsettled enough for Lucy to casually speak of carrying her cordial "commonly to the wars." That does not sound like an era I'd particularly want to live in, regardless of the complacency of the Narnians living along the border with Archenland (which may have been the only secure border Narnia had).
As for an addendum, the book is written about 650 years before Caspian takes the throne (so about halfway between LWW and PC), so I think it's unlikely to be republished just to include those events. But I'm sure the Pevensies' reappearance led to a LOT of rather excitable monographs, and quite possibly a sort of 'sequel' dealing with further mutations of the Golden Age legends during the Telmarine Era and some speculation on what may happen as a result of the tetrarchs' brief return.
