Significance of The “Wallet of Inexhaustible Munchings and Crunchings

The Wallet of Inexhaustible Munchings and Crunchings is a symbol of Anya’s kindness, her transformation into a leader, as well as the motif of hunger and food and the theme of the importance of kindness. It also symbolizes the principle of the limited power of even great wizards, and that sometimes things happen for a reason that you cannot predict or foretell. When Anya and her friends stay with the Good Wizard, she promises them one gift per Quester. She tries to give Anya the magic carpet through hints, but the envelope Anya picks is the wallet. The wallet contains a never-ending supply of biscuits that can keep a person full. The Good Wizard is confused and disappointed as to why Anya gets this gift.
