Background
Marsh-wiggles are one of Lewis’s most distinctive inventions, gloomy in tone but often faithful in action. They belong to the wet northern country and speak with a pessimism that can be comic, touching, and unexpectedly wise.
How the race functions in Narnia
Marsh-wiggles give the Chronicles a different kind of heroism, one that expects trouble yet keeps going anyway. Their realism never quite extinguishes loyalty.
