What is the name of the world entered through the wardrobe in C.S. Lewis’s fantasy series?

The story behind the answer

The world entered through the wardrobe in C.S. Lewis’s fantasy series is Narnia. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Lucy Pevensie discovers that an ordinary wardrobe leads into a snowy land populated by talking animals, mythical beings, and human rulers.

Narnia is the setting for all seven books in The Chronicles of Narnia, although the stories visit different regions and periods of the world’s history. The series includes creation stories, royal adventures, battles, voyages, and an account of Narnia’s final days. Aslan, the great lion, is its central ruler and spiritual figure.

The wardrobe is the best-known entrance to Narnia, but it is not the only method of travel. Other books use magic rings, paintings, a stable, and direct magical summons. Narnia is also sometimes incorrectly treated as the title of the first book; the series and its fictional world share a name, but the first published novel is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
