Why this must be read:


This absolutely charming little ficlet gives us exactly what it says on the tin. Suppose that, instead of Edmund Pevensey, the human child who stumbled through the wardrobe to meet the White Witch had been Bredon Wimsey? The ensuing conversation, about Duchesses, peacocks and Turkish Delight, is not only wonderfully in character, but full of telling little details from Wimsey canon. What can I say? The whole thing is completely adorable.

Bredon Wimsey had been surprised when the wardrobe turned out not to have a wooden back, as one might reasonably expect, but to lead into a snow-covered wood featuring an incongruous lamp-post. He wasn’t frightened exactly, but he rather thought Paul might have been, if he weren’t comfortably downstairs toasting crumpets in front of the fire. Frowning, Bredon briefly considered turning round and joining him.
