soul-warming soups as Nearly-a-Meal Potato Soup (Terry Kay's
"Shadow Song"); Mr. Casaubon's Chicken Noodle Soup (George Eliot's
"Middlemarch"); and Mrs. Leibowitz's Lentil-Vegetable Soup (Frank
McCourt's "Angela's Ashes") . . . After relishing appetizers and
entrees, there's a dazzling array of desserts, including Carrot
Pudding (Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol"); Effie Belle's
Coconut Cake (Olive Ann Burns's "Cold Sassy Tree"); and the kids
will love C.S. Lewis's Turkish Delight from "The Lion, The Witch,
and the Wardrobe."
