The fictional land in C. S. Lewis’s “The Chronicles of Narnia” is Narnia. It is the central setting of Lewis’s seven-book fantasy series, where children from Earth encounter talking animals, mythical creatures, magic, and the lion Aslan.
Narnia is both the name of the wider fantasy world in common discussion and the principal kingdom around which much of the story revolves. The books also describe neighbouring lands and regions, including Archenland, Calormen, Telmar, the Eastern Ocean, and Aslan’s Country. The series covers Narnia’s entire imagined history, from its creation in “The Magician’s Nephew” to its destruction in “The Last Battle.”
Readers sometimes confuse Narnia with the wardrobe that leads there, or with other famous fantasy settings such as Middle-earth, Oz, and Wonderland. The wardrobe is an entrance, not the land itself. Lewis published the series between 1950 and 1956, beginning with “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” in which the Pevensie children first discover Narnia.
