What is the name of C.S. Lewis's fantasy series set in Narnia?

C.S. Lewis’s fantasy series set in Narnia is The Chronicles of Narnia. The seven-book sequence was published between 1950 and 1956.

The stories combine talking animals, mythical creatures, children from our world, and Christian imagery. The books do not follow publication order in a simple continuous human chronology: Narnia’s internal history begins with The Magician’s Nephew, while The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was the first book published.

The principal Narnian figure is Aslan, a talking lion who functions as the series’ central moral and spiritual presence. Different books feature different human protagonists, including the Pevensie siblings, Eustace Scrubb, Jill Pole, and Shasta.

The series is often described as children’s literature, but Lewis wrote it for readers of different ages. Its stories have inspired radio, stage, television, and film adaptations. A common mix-up is treating Narnia as a single novel; it is a seven-volume series with an overarching fictional history.
