Narnia is the fictional land at the center of most of C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia.
The seven-book series depicts Narnia as a world with talking animals, mythical creatures, kings and queens, and a recurring struggle between good and evil. Aslan, the great lion, is its most important recurring figure.
Narnia is not the only location in the series. The stories also visit Earth, the world of Charn, and other regions such as Calormen and the land beneath Narnia. Still, the fictional kingdom gives the series its collective title and dominant setting.
Narnia is sometimes confused with Middle-earth, the setting created by Lewis’s friend J.R.R. Tolkien. The two worlds belong to separate authors and separate fictional traditions, even though both writers were Oxford academics who drew on mythology and medieval literature.
