Oh, Edmund. The trouble starter. If Peter is the golden retriever of the family, Edmund is that sneaky cat who knocks things off tables for fun. He starts the story by being a total brat—calling Lucy a liar, sneaking off to meet a Witch, and trading his family for Turkish Delight. Let’s pause here: who sells out their siblings for candy? Even Willy Wonka would side-eye that move.

But here’s the magic: Edmund has the best arc in the entire book. He gets captured, realizes the Witch is a monster (not just a diet-obsessed queen), and then fights to make things right. By the end, he’s a wise, brave king who’s known for his justice. If Edmund had a Spotify playlist, it would be called “I Messed Up But I’m Fixed Now.” His story is pure proof that it’s okay to be a little lost—as long as you find your way back to the good side. And that Turkish Delight? It’s probably the most dangerous pastry in literature. Watch out, baklava.
