Digory and Polly have been tasked by Aslan to travel to a faraway district of Narnia to collect and return with the seeds for a magical apple tree. This tree and its fruit will keep evil away from Narnia. The children were taken there by Strawberry a flying horse. The children had forgotten to bring food, but they did have a few toffees left and ate all but one of these. The last toffee was planted in the Narnian soil. Upon waking in the morning they found a toffee tree full of toffee like fruit.
“The low early sunshine was streaming through the wood and the grass was grey with dew and the cobwebs were like silver. Just beside them was a little very dark-wooded tree, about the size of an apple tree. The leaves were whitish and rather papery like the herb called honesty, and it was loaded with little brown fruits that looked rather like dates.”
Chronicles of Narnia, Chapter 13
