There are several levels of meaning in the Narnia Tales, originally written by the Christian scholar C. S. Lewis. On a purely mundane level it is a fantasy story. Christians can easily see the allegorical meanings in things such as the death and resurrection of Aslan the Lion -Jesus Himself willingly giving Himself to suffer and die, and then rise again. Jesus is also referred to in The Bible as 'the Lion of the tribe of Judah.' What happens in the kingdom of Narnia could be seen by some as a representation of the final triumph not just of good over evil but of God over Satan. So in that sense it is Christian.
I agree to this answer, but I just wanted to add some more. Both Caspian and/or The Horse and his boy could be seen as the Story of Moses. The Last Battle could be seen as Christians going to Heavan. I am not sure but I would guess that there are many meanings that we do not yet see. If Lucy could be described as anything, I would all it faith. She truly believes in Aslan, even when no-one else does.
