Identifying who wrote this classic fantasy tale. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is written by C.S. Lewis, the author behind the Chronicles of Narnia. Published in 1950, it follows four siblings who step through a wardrobe into the magical land of Narnia and meet Aslan, the talking lion. Recognizing the author helps place the book in its well-known series and era of mid-20th-century British children’s literature. The other authors listed—J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Beatrix Potter wrote the Peter Rabbit tales, and Harper Lee wrote To Kill a Mockingbird—wrote different works, not this Narnia book.
