In "Prince Caspian", who went to Narnia, and how did the children get back?

In "Prince Caspian," all four of the original Pevensie children returned to Narnia.  They were waiting at the train platform in England, to return to school after the holidays, when they felt a strange tugging sensation that pulled them into a strange land, near the ocean.  After much exploration, they discovered they were standing at the ruins of Cair Paravel, their old castle from "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."  Instead of returning as adults, however, they have returned as children, each the same age as they were in England.

When they later meet Trumpkin, the dwarf, they realize that Queen Susan's horn called them back to Narnia.  Although Trumpkin is not impressed by the children, they soon demonstrate their competence and they continue on to meet up with Prince Caspian.

Later, at the end of the tale, Aslan makes a door to send the children and a few of the Telmarines out of Narnia.  When they return to England, they are back on the platform, right where they were when they left.
