We are less than a week away from the day the Old Narnians celebrated as the breaking of the Stone Table, so the question seemed fitting. Is there any evidence for a real, historical Aslan? If so, why are their no records in Calormen or the records brought from Telmar? And what of the so-called "Long winter"? What do you think of claims that Aslan's death and ressurection are merely tacked on to a preexisting springtime festival-with the end of the Long Winter being a mythologized version of ordinary yearly spring?

Ask a tree. Historiography has neglected sentient trees as primary sources for far too long.
If you haven't read Professor C.S. Lewis' s excellent 7 book series, The Chronicles of Narnia, you're truly missing out. The series spans the entire history of Aslan's Narnia from 0 AA (After Aslan) until the civilizations destruction. If you have time for only one book in the series, I recommend "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," which covers the death and resurrection of Aslan, as well as the ascension of King Peter, Queen Susan, King Edmund, and Queen Lucy.
