In C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the wardrobe leads to Narnia.
Narnia is the fictional world at the center of Lewis’s seven-book Chronicles of Narnia. Lucy Pevensie discovers the snowy land when she steps through a wardrobe in the spare room of an English country house. Her siblings Peter, Susan, and Edmund later enter it as well.
The wardrobe is not simply a doorway to another room. It connects the children’s world with Narnia, where the White Witch has imposed a winter that seems never to end. The talking faun Mr. Tumnus, the lion Aslan, and the four Pevensie children are among the story’s best-known figures.
Readers sometimes confuse Narnia with Middle-earth, J. R. R. Tolkien’s separate fantasy setting. Narnia belongs exclusively to Lewis’s fiction and includes its own history, creatures, geography, and creation story.
