What collective title names C.S. Lewis’s seven fantasy novels about Narnia?

C.S. Lewis’s seven fantasy novels about Narnia are collectively titled The Chronicles of Narnia.

The series consists of seven books published between 1950 and 1956. They include The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, The Magician’s Nephew, and The Last Battle.

The books share the world of Narnia, a land populated by talking animals, mythical creatures, and human visitors from Earth. Aslan, the great lion, is the central recurring figure, while the individual stories use different protagonists and time periods.

Publication order and internal chronological order differ. The Magician’s Nephew is a prequel in the fictional history of Narnia, but it was published sixth. This distinction explains why reading lists sometimes begin with different books, even though the series title remains the same.
