Why this story must be read:
This is a story about Edmund, and it is a story about the Golden Age. Thus, it combines two of my absolute favorite things about Narnia.
I'm not sure how to explain my love of Edmund in the series; it has a lot to do with how the entirety of the Narnian tale is told in the microcosm of his own story, the story of growing up and finding grace and duty and all those other adult-things so well dealt with in children's stories. His transformation from Edmund the traitor to Edmund the Just is something significant and important to the stories and to the Golden Age. You see it, from the scared boy in TLTW&TW, to the outline of the king he was, grave and wise from experience, in Prince Caspian, reservedly happy and solemnly cautious from outside Peter's shadow in Dawn Treader--all of these are components of his character, and that is why I love him and love these stories.
In Memory of Heaven, sheldrake puts a close lens of Edmund, newly-crowned King of Narnia, the trauma of the White Witch close at hand; and older Edmund, striving to earn the title given him. I think this story is a beautiful window into the Golden Age, and into Edmund.
Snow falls no more on Narnia, as if to compensate for the past hundred years of white silence. The coldest months of the year only blight the grass and frost the trees, brushing the clothing of Dryads in silver.
In the winter, Edmund turns his face southward, toward Archenland and beyond, away from the dangerous chill in his heart that draws him to the snow covered Wild Lands of the North.

Sheldrake is a lovely author, and I'm flattered to have had my name confused with her. *g*
