The events of the Narnian timeline, listed side-by-side against relevant Earth events. (Click for larger version.)

C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, provided a timeline to map out the events that occur or are mentioned in his books. He gave an "Outline of Narnian History" in manuscript form to Walter Hooper, who included it in his essay Past Watchful Dragons: The Fairy Tales of C. S. Lewis (Schakel 1979, p. 143). In the series proper, Lewis never explicitly stated the year or years in which events in the novels took place, so the outline is the only source for this information. Kathryn Lindskoog, along with other Lewis scholars, has challenged the authenticity of some posthumous works attributed to Lewis and edited by Hooper, (Lindskoog 1988) but the validity of the outline in particular has not been questioned. The outline is accepted by Lewis experts and has been included in works by Paul Ford, Martha Sammons and others.

In the series, Narnian time is not in sync with time on Earth; when Lucy Pevensie enters Narnia for the first time via the wardrobe, she spends hours there and returns to find mere seconds have passed since she entered the wardrobe. Because of this time difference, the entire 2555 years of Narnian history takes place within the span of the lifetime of Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer. In Earth year 1888, Digory was born, and Polly was born in 1889. When they are twelve and eleven, respectively, they are present at the birthing of Narnia. The serious railway accident of British Rail, as described in The Last Battle, causes the death of Digory and Polly in Earth year 1949. While they die on Earth, they are transported to Narnia where they witness its destruction in Narnian year 2555.
