What is the name of the fictional land at the center of C.S. Lewis’s seven Chronicles of Narnia books?

The story behind the answer

The fictional land at the center of C.S. Lewis’s seven Chronicles of Narnia books is Narnia.

Lewis’s series follows children from our world who enter Narnia, a realm populated by talking animals, mythical creatures, and human rulers. The stories begin with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and continue through six further novels. Aslan, the lion who creates and rules Narnia, is the series’ central recurring figure.

Narnia is also the name of the country within the wider world of the books, although readers sometimes use it loosely for the entire setting. Other lands include Calormen, Archenland, and the Northern Giant lands. The seven novels were published between 1950 and 1956, while their internal chronology begins with The Magician’s Nephew and ends with The Last Battle.
