[Jeremy Wayne Tate @JeremyTate41]

The Narnia books are deeply Christian. But they're also a lesson on why BOTH children and adults need mythic stories.

When the Pevensie children grow up, Susan refuses to accept Narnia was real and gets lost in the material world:

"interested in nothing nowadays except nylons and lipstick and invitations".

The story ends with the children's tragic death in a train wreck, and reunion with Aslan in Narnia. But Susan wasn't on the train with her siblings.

She carries on in life, "too keen on being grown-up", and we're left to wonder if she'll make it into Aslan's "heaven."

Susan's desire to grow up is the key point of the entire series — Lewis understood that the grind of modernity (and adulthood) makes us lose a sense of mystery in ordinary things, but mythic stories open us up to the idea of reality beyond the material.

However, rather than merely helping you escape reality, myths tear down the "veil of familiarity" so you can see it more clearly, and find out that you're part of a grand narrative.

That's exactly what happens to the Pevensie children: they discover that their place in the world is one of royal significance, crowned as monarchs and entrusted to preside over a Golden Age of peace in Narnia.

Encountering ideas inside a mythic world makes them appear richer than they ever could in prosaic language. Aslan is made more captivating by the fantastical qualities of his being, and with the veil broken down, you're more susceptible to the lessons he has to offer.

As Aslan says himself:

"This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."
