The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels by C. S. Lewis. Written between 1949 and 1954 and illustrated by Pauline Baynes, the series is considered a classic of children's literature and is the author's best-known work, having sold over 100 million copies in 47 languages.
Plot Overview
The series is set in the fictional realm of Narnia, a fantasy world of magic, mythical beasts, and talking animals. The protagonists are children from the real world who are magically transported to Narnia, where they play central roles in the unfolding history of that world.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
The first book published, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, introduces the Pevensie siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy—who discover the world of Narnia through a magical wardrobe.
Prince Caspian
In Prince Caspian, the Pevensie siblings return to Narnia to help Prince Caspian reclaim his throne from his evil uncle, King Miraz.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader follows Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace Scrubb, as they join King Caspian on a sea voyage to the edge of the world.
The Silver Chair
In The Silver Chair, Eustace Scrubb and his schoolmate Jill Pole are called to Narnia to rescue Prince Rilian, the son of King Caspian, who has been kidnapped.
The Horse and His Boy
The Horse and His Boy is set during the reign of the Pevensies in Narnia and follows the story of a young boy named Shasta and a talking horse named Bree as they journey to Narnia and the North.
The Magician's Nephew
The Magician's Nephew serves as a prequel to the series, explaining the origins of Narnia and how the wardrobe in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe came to be.
The Last Battle
The Last Battle brings the series to a close with the final battle between the forces of good and evil in Narnia, leading to the end of the world and the beginning of a new one.
Themes
The series explores themes of Christian allegory, morality, and the battle between good and evil. Lewis's Christian beliefs are reflected in the narrative, particularly in the character of Aslan, who represents Jesus Christ.
Adaptations
The Chronicles of Narnia has been adapted for radio, television, stage, and film. The most notable adaptations include the BBC television series in the late 1980s and the more recent film series produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media.
