A deeper look into the Chronicles of Narnia, and what a lot of children and adults should get out of it: So, who is Aslan? In the last chapter of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Lucy, Edmund and Eustace travelt o the Very End of the World where they meet a lamb who suddenly changes into the lion, Aslan. As he talks to the children, Aslan reveals that he is not just in Narnia but in our world as well. "But there," he says, "I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. THis is the very reason why you were brought into Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there..."

    When a young girl from America wrote to Jack to ask what name Aslan used in our world, he replied: As to Aslan's other name, well, I want you to guess. Has there ever been anyone in this world who Arrived at the same time as Father Christman? Said he was the Son of the Great Emperor? Gave himself up for someone else's fault to be jeered at and killed by wicked people? Came to life again? Is somtimes spoken of as a lamb? Don't you really know his name in this world?
    "Its a funny thing," Jack wrote two days before he dided, " that all the children who have written to me see at once who Aslan is, and grown-ups never do!"
