The story of Digory’s rebus talisman – lost on a lonely Cornish road – is a poignant one. The inscription on it reads: ‘FEAR NOT, MY SON’, and was created by an illiterate or semi-illiterate parent in an effort to embolden the young man. Perhaps he was in a hazardous occupation – a tin miner or fisherman – and it was felt the talisman would offer apotropaic protection? Perhaps he was one of the Cornish diaspora, off to seek work far from home, or a victim of impressment? Given the nature of the imagery, perhaps his fate was darker still – was he going to the gallows? Whatever perils awaited Digory, the beauty and power of this talisman would have given him strength. It’s no wonder he wept at its loss.
