From a letter written by C.S. Lewis, addressing an 11-year-old girl’s questions about the identity of Aslan…

As to Aslan’s other name, well I want you to guess. Has there ever been anyone in this world who 1) Arrived at the same time as Father Christmas. 2) Said he was the son of the Great Emperor. 3) Gave himself up for someone else’s fault to be jeered at and killed by wicked people. 4) Came to life again. 5) Is sometimes spoken of as a Lamb. Don’t you really know His name in this world. Think it over and let me know your answer.
