... there are details in the seventh book, "The Last Battle," which suggest that some if not all of the four child protagonists of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" (and the other books) have died in a train crash, and that the Narnia adventures become a kind of divine compensation for their unlived lives. Narnia is a flash sideways.
The island, if you like, becomes a kind of "divine injury time" added to the end of some survivor lives, the encounter with a mysterious something which makes these lives meaningful.
