The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven novels for children written by Clive Staples Lewis and published between 1950 and 1956. It includes The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950), Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951), The Voyage of the Dawn Trader (1952), The Silver Chair (1953), The Horse and His Boy (1954), The Magician’s Nephew (1955), and The Last Battle (1956). Notably, recent editions of the series have numbered the books in chronological order rather than in order of publication. The Silver Chair, which was originally the fourth book in the series, is now considered the sixth book in sequential order.
Lewis’s fantasy series takes place in Narnia, a fantastical world populated by mythical creatures and anthropomorphic animals and ruled by a benevolent lion named Aslan. In each novel, human children from the real world are magically brought to Narnia to embark on an adventure, most often a quest set by Aslan. Each novel occurs at a different time in Narnian history, from its creation in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to its eventual destruction in The Last Battle. As a result, each story features a different set of protagonists, including occasionally recurring characters such as
