The First Book of Chess. Franklin Watts - 1953.
What Edmund would have gotten from Father Christmas
I feel like the gifts the Pevensies got were like very symbolic of who they were and what they needed to do and become in order to lead Narnia. I also think that in a way Edmund's stay with the White Witch was kinda a gift, like it helped him realise he was being a little bitch. But I like material shit more sooooo here ya go.
A magic chess set. It wasn't made of any stone you and I could name. It seemed like marble in its texture, but it was as light as a feather. The pieces never chipped or broke. They all had different coloured veins running through them. There was only one side, but the pieces were not the usual ones. Here's a breakdown:-
The King - this was in Peter's likeness, with veins of gold running through it and little golden crown atop his head.
The Queen - this was Susan in full formal wear and her trusty quiver and bow slung over her shoulder. Dark blue veins ran through it.
The Knights - two centaurs with their swords by their sides, scarlet veins circling the figures.
The Rooks - two giants along with their clubs with slate grey veins.
The Messengers - two griffins with spread wings with hazel veins.
The Guides - two beavers with onyx veins. One of them had a needle in their hand, and the other holding up a pipe to smoke.
The Medic - this was a figure of Lucy with her dagger and cordial with amber veins running through.
The Courtier - a faun with a red muffler and light green veins.
The Trickster - a fox standing on all four feet, orange spiralling through.
The Tempter - the White Witch with bluish white veins.
The Scholar - this was Eustace with his journal with purple veins running through.
The Diplomat - this was Edmund's favourite, but he may have been a little biased, seeing that this piece was a miniature copy of him, complete with emerald green whorls.
Edmund would talk to these figures whenever he had problems, or he was trying to figure something out. He would bounce ideas off of them and tell them things he never tell someone else. And sometimes, they would talk back to him.

Antique Napoleonic chess set
This is one of those rare Napoleon-themed polychrome figural ivory sets, with the Emperor Napoleon as both Kings. These sets are small and naively carved. Probably early to mid 19th century.
