The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Narnia: Narnia – fantasy world created by C. S. Lewis as the primary location for his series of seven fantasy novels for children, The Chronicles of Narnia. The series tracks the story of Narnia when humans, usually children, enter the Narnian world from 'our world', or Earth, and meet Aslan, the creator of the world, in the book. The world is named after the country of Narnia, in which much of the action of the Chronicles takes place. In Narnia, some animals can talk, mythical beasts abound, and magic is common. == What ''type'' of thing is Narnia? == Narnia can be described as all of the following: * Fiction – form of narrative which deals, in part or in whole, with events that are not factual, but rather, imaginary and invented by its author(s).

Many works within the genre take place in imaginary worlds where magic and magical creatures are common. * * * High fantasy fiction – a type of fantasy fiction defined either by its setting in an imaginary world or by the epic stature of its characters, themes and plot.〔Brian Stableford, ''The A to Z of Fantasy Literature'', (p. 198), Scarecrow Press,Plymouth. 2005.
