'''''The Chronicles of Narnia''''' is a series of seven books written by [[C. S. Lewis]].  These books were written as a fictional story with allegorical connections to the [[Bible]] and the Christian faith. The novels were published yearly from 1950 to 1956.  ''[[The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe]]'' draws upon the [[Gospels]], ''[[The Magician's Nephew]]'' covers the Creation, and ''[[The Last Battle]]'' corresponds to the book of [[Revelation]].

The '''Chronicles of Narnia''' are a series of seven books written by [[C.S.

The Chronicles of Narnia were published yearly from 1950 to 1956.  [[The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe]] draws upon the [[Gospels]], [[The Magician's Nephew]] covers the Creation, like the book of [[Genesis]], and [[The Last Battle]] corresponds to the book of [[Revelation]].

Lewis wrote the stories in a non-chronological order, with no particular plan for the series as a whole. Although Lewis later expressed a preference that the books be read in chronological order (starting with ''The Magician's Nephew'') they have traditionally been read (and are being adapted to film) in order of publication.  Because the events of each book are often separated by centuries and have limited overlap in their casts, either approach works.
