Background
Squirrels in Narnia belong to the lively, energetic side of the old country. They are quick, alert, and often written with a mix of charm and fierceness. Lewis has a gift for making small creatures feel fully alive, and the squirrels benefit from that.
How the Race Functions in Narnia
In battle or resistance stories, squirrels help show that courage in Narnia is not confined to the grand or physically imposing. They bring speed, spirit, and a kind of cheerful intensity that adds texture to the old Narnian cause.
