His was enchanted Turkish Delight and anyone who had once tasted it would want more and more of it, and would even, if they were allowed, go on eating it till they killed themselves.” ~ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C. At first Edmund tried to remember that it is rude to speak with one’s mouth full, but soon he forgot about this and thought only of trying to shovel down as much Turkish Delight as he could, and the more he ate the more he wanted to eat, and he never asked himself why the Queen should be so inquisitive. “While he was eating the Queen kept asking him questions. Lewis describes the confection in mouth-watering fashion: “Each piece was sweet and light to the very center and Edmund had never tasted anything more delicious.” But really, of course, the candy was quite dangerous, even deadly: it confused the eater’s mind and eventually leads to death. She offers him food and he asks for Turkish Delight, which she magically produces. In the chapter “Turkish Delight,” Edmund enters Narnia for the first time and almost immediately meets the White Witch. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe titled “Turkish Delight.” I’ve read The Chronicles of Narnia at least a dozen times, and over these many re-reads I began to see an analogy between Turkish Delight and certain books. This tag, and indeed the book review portion of the blog, was inspired by a particular chapter in C.
