The fictional land at the center of C.S. Lewis’s Narnia series is Narnia.
Narnia is a magical world populated by talking animals, dwarfs, giants, fauns, centaurs, and other creatures. Human children from Earth enter it at different times, often through magical gateways such as a wardrobe, a painting, or a railway station. The stories cover the world’s creation, its long history, and its final destruction.
Aslan, a powerful and wise lion, is the most important recurring figure in Narnia. The world also contains neighboring regions, including Archenland and Calormen, which broaden the series beyond the kingdom named in the title.
Narnia is sometimes mistakenly treated as the name of the whole universe. Lewis’s fictional cosmos is larger: Narnia is one world within a broader creation that includes Earth and other locations. The series, however, is universally identified by Narnia’s name.
