Mention of Aslan's How[edit]

Where is it mentioned in HHB? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.75.248 (talk)

It is mentioned in Chapter 12:Shasta In Narnia of The Horse And His Boy. Srinivas G Phani (talk) 12:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion-worthy?[edit]

This "stub" surely contains all one could wish to know?--Paularblaster 12:08, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are right! Srinivas G Phani (talk) 06:38, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stable Hill[edit]

Although: for some reason I've always assumed this was Hill of the Stone Table / Aslan's How so many thousand years further on ... Is there nothing explicit (or implicit)in The Last Battle to indicate this? --Paularblaster 22:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, there isn't. What would have become of the fort and the table? The Last Battle is only 252 years after Prince Caspian, by the way. -- Noneofyourbusiness (talk) 22:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Secondary sources[edit]

This article needs more non-plot information. If anyone should be inclined to work on that, here are some secondary sources to use which came up in the deletion discussion:

A Guide Through Narnia:P. 214 has plot summary and 3 sentences of analysis, linking the Stone Table to paganism (and similar symbols in another of Lewis' books) and the veil in the temple. In additon, p. 159-160 has three paragraphs, linking it to Old Testament Law and how it has to be overcome for salvation in Lewis' Christian world-view ("the Stone Table will crack ... What a marvelously succicnt expression of New Testament message of..."). P. 165: comparison with the communion table, + more plot summary from Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which is not yet in the article.
The Good Guys and the Bad Guys - Teachable Moments in the Chronicles of Narnia: Also relates it to the veil in the temple, but goes beyond A Guide Through Narnia in explaining its symbolism. Compares it to the stone that rolled away from the tomb at the Resurrection of Christ. "On a yet deeper level", like A Guide.., compares it to the Law, but more specifically the Tablets of Stone and what that signifies. And in just one sentence compares it to the cross.
HISTORIOPHOTY IN THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE: Linking it to Golgotha
The A-Z of C.S. Lewis, a better source for the word origin, already present in the article.
[1]: Association with "white magic".
[2]: Technical treatment in the movie.
Copley News Service
Virtually Sacred: Myth and Meaning in World of Warcraft and Second Life about a different but definitely related Aslan's How.
