99 free Narnia trivia questions with answers — literature quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
48 free Narnia trivia questions with answers. Narnia started as a picture in a teenager's head of a faun carrying parcels through snow, and ended as 120 million books in 47 languages. Along the way it picked up an argument about reading order that has never been settled, a lion that Lewis insisted was not an allegory, and a talking mouse he thought was the point of the whole thing. This quiz runs 99 questions across all seven books, from the wardrobe and the Stone Table to Charn, the Dawn Treader, Puddleglum and the ape Shift, plus C. S. Lewis himself (Belfast, Jack, the Inklings, the Kilns evacuees) and every screen version: the BBC serials, the Walden Media films with Liam Neeson and Tilda Swinton, and Netflix's coming Greta Gerwig film. It starts easy and works up to questions for people who know what an immram is. Every answer has been checked against reference sources, shown under each question once you answer, so it works for a school book club, a family quiz or a literature round at pub trivia.
