Obituary for Jill Flewett Freud. As a teenager during WW2, she was evacuated to Oxford and lived at the Kilns, the home of C.S. and W.H. Lewis. She became lasting friends with the Lewis brothers, and her memories have been a contribution to Lewis biography. Supposedly she was also an inspiration for the character of Lucy in the Narnia books, though not the only one (the name came from Lewis's goddaughter). She went on to become an actor and producer. More at the link.
