Narnia is the fictional world where the Pevensie children have their adventures in C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia.
Lewis created Narnia as a land populated by talking animals, humans, dwarfs, giants, fauns, and other beings. The world is ruled or protected by Aslan, the great lion, and its history spans from creation to the final destruction described in The Last Battle.
The name Narnia refers both to the world and, in some contexts, to the kingdom within it. That distinction can cause confusion because the novels move among several regions, including Archenland, Calormen, and the islands visited by the Dawn Treader.
Narnia is reached through different portals, including a wardrobe, magic rings, a painting, and a railway accident. The books connect its history with Earth’s, but time passes differently in the two worlds. The series contains seven novels, published between 1950 and 1956.
