In order of publication, the seven books in C.S. Lewis’s children’s fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia are:

  • Prince Caspian (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)

However, this order does not follow the chronological order of events in the stories. For example, the sixth book, The Magician’s Nephew, is considered a prequel because it is set decades before the events in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and describes the creation of Narnia, which already exists in the first book.
