What is the fictional country visited by the Pevensie children in C.S. Lewis’s novels?

The story behind the answer

The Pevensie children visit the fictional country of Narnia in C.S. Lewis’s novels.

Narnia is the principal setting of The Chronicles of Narnia, a seven-book fantasy series published between 1950 and 1956. Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter enter it through a wardrobe in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, while other characters reach it by different magical routes.

Lewis’s Narnia includes talking animals, mythical creatures, kings and queens, and the lion Aslan. The wider world also contains places such as Archenland, Calormen, and the Wood between the Worlds.

Narnia is sometimes confused with settings from other fantasy authors. Middle-earth belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien, Prydain to Lloyd Alexander, and Earthsea to Ursula K. Le Guin. Narnia is specifically Lewis’s fictional world.
