How many novels are in the C.S. Lewis series that the Brazilian series "Sítio do Picapau Amarelo" has been compared to?
Sítio do Picapau Amarelo (novel series) Sítio do Picapau Amarelo (literally translated and roughly known as "the Yellow Woodpecker Farm" or "the Yellow Woodpecker Ranch") is the title given to a series of 23 fantasy novels written by Brazilian author Monteiro Lobato between 1920 and 1940. The series is considered representative of Brazilian children's literature and as the Brazilian equivalent to children's classics such as C. S. Lewis, "The Chronicles of Narnia" and L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" series. Lobato's single original adult fiction, a sci-fi novel entitled "O Presidente Negro" ("The Black President") set in the far future, would not achieve the same popularity of "Sítio". The concept was introduced in Monteiro Lobato's 1920 novel "A Menina do Narizinho Arrebitado", and was later republished as the first chapter of "Reinações de Narizinho", which is the first novel of the actual "Sítio" series. The main setting is Sítio do Picapau Amarelo, where a boy, a girl and their living and thinking toys enjoy exploring adventures in fantasy, discovery and learning. On several occasions, they leave the ranch to explore other worlds such as Neverland, the mythological Ancient Greece, an underwater world known as the Clear Waters Kingdom, and outer space. "Sítio" is often symbolized by the character of Emília, Lobato's most famous creation alongside Jeca Tatu.
Lucy Pevensie Lucy Pevensie is a fictional character in C. S. Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia" series. She is the youngest of the four Pevensie children, and the first to find the Wardrobe entrance to Narnia in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". Of all the Pevensie children, Lucy is the closest to Aslan. Also, of all the humans who have visited Narnia, Lucy is perhaps the one that believes in Narnia the most. She is ultimately crowned Queen Lucy the Valiant, co-ruler of Narnia along with her two brothers and her sister. Lucy is the central character of the four siblings in the novels. Lucy is a principal character in three of the seven books ("The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", "Prince Caspian", and "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader"), and a minor character in two others ("The Horse and His Boy" and "The Last Battle").
