I swear I'm still working on my deconstruction of Narnia with Aslan as a trickster god, but in the meantime let's talk about the golden age. I want to know how the actual fuck these four kids forgot Earth existed and how they got there within about 10-15 years (since it was said they weren't super adults yet, probably in their 20s to 30 and if they were between 8-15 when they arrived....). I know they assimilated hard but, to the point of not knowing the lantern? It's not even the biggest plot hole but it sure does beg a lot of suspension of disbelief.

Let's also think about the gross racism/xenophobia in the one book set during that time, wow.

I figured it was the ~~*~~maaaagic~~*~~ aspect that made them forget and altered their speech to Ye Olde Timey Medieval Accent in a relatively short amount of time. Like Narnia itself is cheating a little bit re: the assimilation in an attempt to keep them there.

Oh yeah, most likely, since everything Lewis couldn't figure out a solution for became ~~maaagic~~, it's just annoying. Especially since the human population of Narnia that Aslan put there to rule died out/left not once but twice.

That was the impression I had too, not sure if it was the intent of the author or just how I explained it to myself.

I always thought that time worked differently so they lived a lot longer (but didn't age very fast), so that was why.
Plus - kids adapt, change, and forget more than adults do.
