The Silver Chair is a fantasy children's novel by C.S. Lewis. It was published in 1953 and is the fourth of seven novels in the author's famed Chronicles of Narnia series. (In more recent Narnia compilations which are sequenced according to the history of the fictional realm, The Silver Chair is the sixth volume.) The book takes place after the events of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and follows two English schoolchildren, Eustace Scrubb and Jill Poe, as they embark on a mission to locate the missing Prince Rilian. (Eustace previously appeared in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and is a cousin of the Pevensie siblings, the central characters of the first Narnia novel.) Like the rest of the novels in the series, The Silver Chair contains a mix of Christian and folkloric themes and continues to be both enormously popular and culturally significant. The novel was among the Narnia books adapted for television by the BBC in 1990, and is the first story in a planned blockbuster reboot of the franchise by Sony Pictures.
