A clever ape named Shift manipulates a sweet but naive donkey named Puzzle to wear a lion skin to impersonate the “Great Lion,” Aslan. Narnia has been at peace for generations, but evil emerges near the Western Wild region. This conflict leads to the end of the old world of Narnia and the beginning of a new adventure in Aslan’s real country. The book starts approximately 200 Narnian years after the events in The Silver Chair (the sixth book in the series) and about 2,500 Narnian years after the creation of Narnia recounted in The Magician’s Nephew.
The Last Battle tells the story of the last war of Narnia, when King Tirian and his loyal followers fight the Calormene invaders and their allies. (Note: This guide is based upon the Puffin Book edition.) Other notable books authored by Lewis include Mere Christianity (1952), a nonfiction work, and Till We Have Faces (1956), a retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche. Lewis’s Christian faith, which he returned to at the age of 32 after having been an atheist in adolescence, profoundly influenced his writings. Although The Last Battle can be read solely as an account of imaginary worlds, the book also possesses a strong Christian allegorical aspect with its description of a final battle between good and evil and its portrayal of life after death. The Last Battle represents the culmination of the series’ themes and characters and won the Carnegie Medal, which annually recognizes an outstanding book for children. Lewis (1898-1963), is considered a classic of children’s literature.
The Chronicles of Narnia, a series of fantasy novels by celebrated British writer and literary scholar C. The Last Battle, first published in England in 1956, is the seventh and final novel in The Chronicles of Narnia.
