Narnia is the fictional land that gives C.S. Lewis’s fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia its name.
Narnia is a world of talking animals, mythical creatures, human rulers, and magical events. The series begins with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and continues through seven novels, published between 1950 and 1956. Children from Earth enter Narnia at different points in its history.
Aslan, a talking lion, is the central figure connecting the stories. Narnia also includes locations such as Cair Paravel, Lantern Waste, and the eastern sea. The world’s history begins in The Magician’s Nephew and ends in The Last Battle.
Narnia is sometimes mistakenly used as the name of the entire universe or as another name for Earth. In Lewis’s fiction, however, Narnia is a particular country within a wider cosmos that includes other worlds and realms.
