The Chronicles of Narnia
From Lostpedia
The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels for children written by C. S. Lewis between 1949 and 1954. The series presents the adventures of children who play central roles in the unfolding history of the fictional world of Narnia, a place where mythical creatures exist, magic is common and good battles evil. The guardian of Narnia is Aslan, a talking lion. Each of the books (with the exception of The Horse and His Boy) features protagonist children who are magically transported from Earth to Narnia, where they are called upon to help Aslan right some wrong.
The seven books are:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)
Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951)
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
The Silver Chair (1953)
The Horse and His Boy (1954)
The Magician’s Nephew (1955)
The Last Battle (1956)

- In Narnia time passes faster than on Earth. A similar time difference exists between the Island and the outside world.
- Only certain people chosen by Aslan can enter Narnia. On the Island, certain people are also "chosen". (Lists)
- In final book of the series The Last Battle, it is revealed that except for Susan, all the children who traveled to Narnia in the previous books were killed in a railway accident. A popular (debunked) theory has been that the survivors are really dead and that the Island is the afterlife. ("The Brig") (Life and Death) (Rebirth)
