Narnia is the fictional world where most of C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia are set. It is a realm populated by talking animals, mythical creatures, humans, and powerful magical forces.
The seven-book series includes stories set at different points in Narnian history. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe introduces readers to Narnia through a wardrobe discovered by four children in an English country house. Other books explain the world’s creation, its rulers, and its final transformation.
Narnia is not the same as Middle-earth, J.R.R. Tolkien’s setting, although the two authors were friends and members of Oxford’s Inklings literary group. Malacandra belongs instead to Lewis’s Space Trilogy.
