What is the name of C. S. Lewis’s seven-book fantasy series beginning with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?

C. S. Lewis’s seven-book fantasy series beginning with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is The Chronicles of Narnia. The books describe the fictional world of Narnia and its recurring figures, including Aslan.

The first published Narnia novel appeared in 1950. Lewis later completed six more books, with publication continuing through 1956. The stories include talking animals, enchanted objects, battles, kings and queens, and movement between the ordinary world and Narnia.

Readers sometimes debate the best reading order because the books can be arranged by publication date or by the internal chronology of Narnian history. The publication order begins with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, while chronological editions often begin with The Magician’s Nephew.

The series is not the same as Lewis’s Space Trilogy, which is science fiction for adults. It is also separate from the Ransom Trilogy, another name used for the Space Trilogy. The Narnia books remain Lewis’s most widely recognized fiction.
