The fictional land at the center of C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia is Narnia.
Narnia is the principal setting of Lewis’s seven children’s fantasy novels, published between 1950 and 1956. The world contains talking animals, magical creatures, enchanted objects, and human visitors from Earth. Aslan, a great lion, is its central symbolic and narrative figure.
The first published book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, introduces Narnia through a wardrobe that connects the English countryside with the fantasy realm. Other books broaden the setting’s history, including its creation in The Magician’s Nephew and its final days in The Last Battle.
Narnia is sometimes confused with Middle-earth, the setting created by J.R.R. Tolkien, Lewis’s friend and fellow Oxford scholar. Oz belongs to L. Frank Baum’s books, while Westeros is associated with George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.
