that a professor's wardrobe leads to the magical land of Narnia, and help to

journey brings them face to face with many wonders and dangers as they sail
toward Aslan's country at the end of the world.
The Silver Chair
Published in 1953, The Silver Chair is the first book without the Pevensie
children. Instead, Aslan calls Eustace back to Narnia together with his fellow

chronologically, the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia.
The Last Battle
Published in 1956 and awarded the Carnegie Medal, The Last Battle chronicles
the end of the world of Narnia. Jill and Eustace return to save Narnia from
Shift, an ape, who tricks Puzzle, a donkey, into impersonating Aslan. The
treacherous Carlormenes make a deal with Shift to take over Narnia. This is the
seventh and last book in the Chronicles of Narnia.
