Answer
The Chronicles of Narnia
C.S. Lewis’s Christian allegory set in Narnia is The Chronicles of Narnia.
The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels published between 1950 and 1956. The books feature talking animals, mythical creatures, children from our world, and the lion Aslan. The stories are linked by the history of the magical world of Narnia, although their narrative order differs from their publication order.
The first published book was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, followed by Prince Caspian in 1951. The final volume published was The Last Battle in 1956. Many modern editions arrange the books in a chronological reading order beginning with The Magician’s Nephew, which was written later in the sequence.
Lewis drew on Christian themes, biblical imagery, classical mythology, and traditional fairy-tale motifs. Aslan is widely understood as a Christ figure, but the series is not a direct retelling of the Bible. Its imaginative world also stands independently as children’s fantasy.
