Obviously, it was intentional, but I remember always waiting eagerly for Aslan to appear in each book as a child and was always just a little sad when he had to go

I used to wibble when they got too old and couldn't return :(

I know! Especially Lucy's whole bit at the end of Dawn Treader where she tells Aslan that it's not losing Narnia, it's that she'll never be able to meet him again.

*happy sigh* I love Narnia to bits. I still remember crying at the stone table bit in LWW as a kid- I think it was the first book I cried at.

And Aslan just really, really rocks. Also, Jill and Polly.
