Encyclopedia > Puddleglum

Puddleglum is a Marshwiggle in C. S. Lewis's novel The Silver Chair, part of The Chronicles of Narnia. Marshwiggles are taller than humans and have tough, leathery skin. They live in clusters of wigwams near marshes, eat eels, and smoke a strange sort of tobacco with a smoke that is heavier than air; some say they mix their tobacco with mud. A giants' cookbook in the castle of Harfang, "home of the 'gentle giants'," describes the flesh of a Marshwiggle as being "muddy-tasting," and "stringy." Puddleglum snored quite terribly, though it is unknown if this is a common characteristic of all Marshwiggles. Categories: Possible copyright violations ... C.S.
