Narnia is the fictional country at the heart of C.S. Lewis’s seven-book fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia.
The series begins with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, in which four children enter Narnia through a wardrobe. The land contains talking animals, mythical creatures, kings and queens, and a long history shaped by magic and conflict.
Narnia is also the name of the larger world in ordinary usage, although Lewis’s fictional cosmology includes other lands and worlds. Calormen, Archenland and the eastern lands are distinct regions within or beyond the main setting.
Readers sometimes confuse Narnia with Middle-earth, J.R.R. Tolkien’s setting. Both series involve fantasy quests, but Middle-earth belongs to Tolkien, while Narnia belongs to Lewis.
