Aslan is the creator of Narnia in C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia. In The Magician’s Nephew, Aslan sings Narnia into existence, bringing its landscape, animals, and other living creatures into being.
Aslan is a talking lion and the central symbolic figure of the series. He is presented as wise, powerful, compassionate, and authoritative. Lewis described him as an allegorical representation of Jesus Christ, while also emphasizing that Aslan is a fictional character rather than a simple one-to-one code.
The Magician’s Nephew is chronologically the first story in Narnia’s internal history, although it was published sixth. The book shows the creation of Narnia and introduces the wardrobe’s origin through events involving Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer.
Readers sometimes identify Digory as Narnia’s creator because he helps bring the magical elements together, but Digory is a human participant. Aslan alone performs the act of creation within the story.
