Written by C. S. Lewis, The Silver Chair was completed in 1951 but not published until 1953. While it was the fourth published novel in The Chronicles of Narnia, recent editions of the series, set in chronological order, place The Silver Chair as volume six. It was the first Narnia novel Lewis wrote that did not feature the Pevensie children, focusing instead on Eustace, a character first introduced in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Lewis intended his books to teach children about the Christian faith by creating an imaginary world where characters embodied biblical themes.
