What is the name of C.S. Lewis’s series of seven Christian fantasy novels?

The story behind the answer

C.S. Lewis’s series of seven Christian fantasy novels is The Chronicles of Narnia.

Lewis published the books between 1950 and 1956, beginning with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The stories take place mainly in the fictional world of Narnia, where children from Earth encounter talking animals, legendary creatures, magical objects, and the lion Aslan.

The books are often read in publication order, although some editions list them in the internal chronological order of Narnia’s history. The series includes The Magician’s Nephew, The Last Battle, and five other novels. Lewis drew on Christian themes, but the books also incorporate influences from classical mythology, folklore, and medieval romance. A common mix-up is calling the series simply “Narnia”; that name refers to its central fictional world, while the formal series title is The Chronicles of Narnia.
