All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.

The conclusion of the saga that began with
The Magician's Nephew


NARNIA... where you must say good-bye... and where the adventure begin again.

The Unicorn says that humans are brought to Narnia when Narnia is stirred and upset.  And Narnia is in trouble now: A false Aslan roams the land.  Naria's only hope is that Eustace and Jill, old friends to Narnia, will be able to find the true Aslan and restore peace to the land.  Their task is a difficult one because, as the Centaur says, "The stars never lie, but Men and Beasts do."  Who is the real Aslan and who is the imposter?

Enter this enchanted world countless times in The Chronicles of Narnia.  There are seven books in all:

THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW
THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE
THE HORSE AND HIS BOY
PRINCE CASPIAN
THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER
THE SILVER CHAIR
THE LAST BATTLE

Notes:
C.S. Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland on November 29, 1898.  His parents were Albert Lewis and Flora Hamilton Lewis and he had an older brother named  Warren Hamilton Lewis.  His mother died of cancer in 1908 and shortly after her death the C.S. Lewis and his brother were sent to boarding school in England.  The school closed in 1910, and he returned to Ireland.  Later he was sent back to England to study.  Lewis learned to love poetry and he also had an interest in modern languages.  He learned and mastered French, German and Italian.

In 1916 Lewis was accepted at University College, at Oxford University.  Just after he entered University Lewis chose to volunteer for duty in World War I.  When the war ended, Lewis returned to Oxford and resumed his studies.  In 1925 Lewis was elected to a teaching post in English at Magdalen College, Oxford.  He evendtually became a professor of medieval and renaissance literature at Magdalene College, Cambridge, in 1955.

He started writing while at Magdalen College and his first major work, The Pilgrim's Regress, was about his coming to Christ.  Lewis also wrote the popular children's novels about Narnia.

After his wife Joy Gresham died in 1960, Lewis's health began to deteriorate.  In 1963 he resigned from Cambridge.  He died on November 22, 1963.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
