In C. S. Lewis's series of children's books, The Chronicles of Narnia, the depictions of food evoke nostalgia for the simple pleasures missing during post World War II rationing in the United Kingdom, and act as a symbol of positive or negative spiritual nourishment. In Lewis's essay "On Three Ways of Writing for Children", he writes of the food imagery in his books: "I myself like eating and drinking, I put in what I would have liked to read when I was a child and what I still like reading now that I am in my fifties".[1] Themes that literary scholars have identified include the dichotomy of wholesome versus magical foods, and food-as-temptation.
