The fictional land where most of C.S. Lewis’s Narnia stories take place is Narnia. Lewis created Narnia as the central setting for The Chronicles of Narnia, a seven-book fantasy series published between 1950 and 1956.
Narnia is populated by humans, talking animals, dwarfs, giants, fauns, and other mythical beings. Its central figure is Aslan, a talking lion who serves as its creator, ruler, and spiritual guide. The stories also connect Narnia with our world through magical entrances, including the wardrobe in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Narnia is not the same setting as Middle-earth, which was created by Lewis’s friend J.R.R. Tolkien. Nor is it a single planet in a conventional science-fiction universe. Lewis’s books describe Narnia’s creation, history, conflicts, and final destruction, while several stories follow children from Earth who enter the land and become involved in its affairs.
