Most of The Chronicles of Narnia takes place in Narnia, a world constructed by C.S. Lewis. Passage between Narnia and our world is possible, though rare, and is accomplished through various ways in the different books. Visitors to Narnia observe that the passage of time while they are away is unpredictable. For example, if one year had passed since one left Narnia and returned, a thousand years, or perhaps only a week, could have gone by in Narnia. Narnia itself is populated by a wide variety of creatures, all exotic and beautiful, according to Lewis’ descriptions.
It seems to me that Narnia correlates somewhat with our world; only spiritual warfare could be seen as being symbolized through Aslan, the White Witch, the animals, and the visiting children. As I read through the book series, I found my own spiritual walk relating to the joy, struggles, and battles which the children face in their different experiences with Good and Evil.
