Original Plot
(information from Wikipedia)

The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels for children by C.S Lewis. It is considered a classic of children's literature and is the author's best-known work, having sold over 100 million copies in 47 languages. Written by Lewis between 1949 and 1954, illustrated by Pauline Baynes and originally published in London between October 1950 and March 1956, The Chronicles of Narnia has been adapted several times, complete or in part, for radio, television, the stage, and film.

Set in the fictional realm of Narnia, a place where animals talk, magic is common, and good battles evil, the series narrates the adventures of various children who play central roles in the unfolding history of that world. With the exception of The Horse and His Boy, the protagonists are all children from the real world magically transported to Narnia, where they are called upon by the lion Aslan to protect Narnia from evil and restore the throne to its rightful line. The books cover the entire history of Narnia, from its creation in The Magician's Nephew, to its eventual destruction in The Last Battle.

Inspiration for the series is taken from multiple sources; in addition to numerous traditional Christian themes, characters and ideas are freely borrowed from Greek, Turkish and Roman mythology, as well as from traditional British and Irish fairy tales. The books have profoundly influenced adult and children's fantasy literature written since World War II. Lewis' exploration of themes not usually present in children's literature, such as religion as well as the book's perceived treatment of issues including race and gender, have caused some controversy.

In the Valinorian Chronicles
In the Valinorian Chronicles, Narnia is the first magical country that Mandy Diamond and Freedom (aka Lucy Diamond) visits. In the first trilogy the country serves as Freedom's home and both it and its characters are often mentioned. In the prologue-book, The Time Before, the main character is a Narnian Princess who is the first to discover the rest of the Magic Realm.

Compared to Lewis' original storyline, the Valinorian Chronicles is set after the end of the final book (The Last Battle) and features all of the characters mentioned throughout the series.
