What is the name of C.S. Lewis’s fantasy land in The Chronicles of Narnia?

The story behind the answer

C.S. Lewis’s fantasy land in The Chronicles of Narnia is called Narnia. The name identifies both the fictional world and the seven-book series commonly known as The Chronicles of Narnia.

Narnia contains talking animals, mythical creatures, human visitors, and rulers whose stories unfold across different periods of the world’s history. The best-known entry, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, follows four English children who enter Narnia through a wardrobe. Other books include Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Last Battle.

Narnia is sometimes confused with particular locations within the series, such as Cair Paravel, the royal castle, or the Wood between the Worlds. It is also distinct from other literary fantasy settings such as J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Lewis published the Narnia books between 1950 and 1956.
