  • The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels by C.S. Lewis. Some of the books in the series have recently been adapted into three films. The books take place in the magical world of Narnia, and are about different children who enter this world from ours and help to solve various problems that occur throughout Narnia.
  • The books were not published in the chronological order. In the copyright information found in the current editions of the books it is explicitly stated that C.S. Lewis meant for the books to be read in chronological order with The Magician's Nephew to be read first. However, this assertion by the publisher is questioned by many and which order was approved by Lewis (if any) is up for debate. Therefore there are two different views on their correct order:
  • Narnia is a fictional world created by C. S. Lewis. In each of the seven books pertaining to this land, the main characters are magically transported for their world to this. Although the main characters vary, the most important one stays the same. Aslan. He is the great lion, and the true king of Narnia. He portrays Jesus Christ in that he sacrificed himself for a traitor, but later comes back to life. All of the animals talk in Narnia, and there have already been two major motion pictures based on the books, with 5 more on the way.
  • The chronicles of Narnia have been adapted for radio, television, stage and film several times. The chronological order follows; titles with an asterisk were recently adapted into films which saw heavy fandom attention: * The Magician's Nephew (1955) * The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (1950)* * The Horse and His Boy (1954) * Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951)* * The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952) * The Silver Chair (1953) * The Last Battle (1956)

  • Ă…The Chronicles of Narnia are a series of seven books by C. S. Lewis, telling the history from its creation to its ending of a land where animals talk, where a varied collection of creatures from European folklore lives, and where a number of children have heroic adventures under the guidance of the great Lion, Aslan. Though "Narnia" is sometimes used to describe the whole world, it is strictly speaking a northern mediaeval European-style kingdom of that world; it is bordered by Archenland on the south (beyond which lies the quasi-Arabian empire of Calormen), by Ettinsmoor on the North, by Lantern Waste on the West, and by the Great Eastern Sea on the East, beyond which is Aslan's Country.
