What is the title of C.S. Lewis’s final Narnia book by publication order?

The Last Battle is the final Narnia book by publication order. C.S. Lewis published it in 1956, completing the seven-volume Chronicles of Narnia series.

The novel takes place during the final days of Narnia and includes the characters King Tirian, Jill Pole, and Eustace Scrubb. Its plot involves deception, political conflict, and a decisive confrontation that brings the world’s history to its conclusion.

The book won the Carnegie Medal for children’s literature in 1957. The award recognized Lewis’s achievement in a series that had begun six years earlier with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Publication order is important here because The Last Battle is not the last story chronologically within Narnia’s internal history. The Magician’s Nephew is set near the beginning of that history, even though it was published later. The Last Battle remains the final volume readers encountered in the original publication sequence.
