I tried the rose flavoured turkish delight for the first time about a month ago, and I'll admit, I would do literally anything to eat them again, so Edmund Pevensie, I do match your freak sir, i totally get it.

Welcome back Sundrop, Moondrop & Lunar.

I hope you three had a good time for rest and relaxation. If it's okay for me to ask this, what have you three been up to?

Oh! Before i forget, I brought you some welcome back treats I thought you might enjoy. The pink ones is rose flavor, and the yellows one is lemon flavor.

They were mostly busy patching things up.

Turkish Delight and Edmund before WWII:

Chocolate and sweets were increadibly popular with kids in the 1930s, being marketed and sold at low prices.

The most popular brand of Turkish Delight that kids probably had access to (and that we have records of) would have been Fry's which had been bought by Cadbury in 1909. It would have been available in just about any sweet shop that had a range of Cadbury's products; Woolworths, Maynards, corner shops or local independant sweet shops.

After ages of searching I found this image of someone selling a Fry's Turkish Delight Bar on ebay about 10 years ago which was listed as 30s/40s/50s:

Sugar rationing was introduced in 1942 (although supplies were limited from 1940) and Cadbury's had a significantly reduced inventory/stock using low quality chocolate. In 1957 2oz Fry's bars were 4d, so this wrapper has to predate 1940. Cadbury's chocolate bars were very often 2d for 2oz in the 1930s, so this is likely from the 1930s.

At the time boiled sweets were 2d per 1/4 pound (4oz), so chocolate bars were twice as expensive. As a middle-upper middle class family, Edmund probably had regular pocket money- one source said she had 3d a week before the war. So Edmund could have at probably one bar a week if he had wanted to. Of course this is only the cheapest brand available, department stores, such as Debenhams, John Lewis and Marks & Spencer would have had much nicer options, although much more expensive! Fry's is currently 80p, whilst a box in M&S is £3.50 and £2.50 in Waitrose (John Lewis' food shop), so something closer to a shilling for their cheaper brands.

So, in conclusion, Edmund probably had decent access to Turkish Delight before the War, which would have been on the pricier end of pocket-money sweets. Nicer Turkish Delight would have probably required saving up for a while- weeks or months depending on how much pocket money he got.

Most of my information came from the Woolworth's Digital Museum, specifically the tuppence a quarter page
