Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Book five in the Chronicles of Narnia sees the intrepid Edmund and Lucy returning to Narnia--with their beastly cousin Eustace in tow--on the ship The Dawn Treader where their old friend Prince Caspian is searching for lost friends of his father's. As the children take to the Eastern Seas in their hunt for the friends they find themselves embroiled in a dangerous adventure that leads them once again into the arms of Aslan the lion.

This stunning edition of the dramatic and totally enthralling The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, published in celebration of the centenary of CS Lewis, is enhanced by the striking hand-coloured illustrations by Pauline Baynes and benefits entirely from the larger, stylish format that makes it highly collectible as well as the jolly good, classic read that has been treasured by children of all ages since its first publication in the 1950s. --Susan Harrison --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Review
"The magic of C.S. Lewis's parallel universe never fades." The Times "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness." C S Lewis --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Voyaging, 22 Jul 2005
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ("The Chronicles of Narnia") (Paperback)
The second volume of the Narnia Chronicles closed with the possibility of Lucy and Edmund -- though not their older siblings -- returning to Narnia. "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" makes good on that story, with the intrepid pair (plus a whiny cousin) returning on a strange sea voyage.

After the events of "Prince Caspian," Lucy and Edmund are sent off to stay with their obnoxious cousin Eustace. But when they admire a picture of a strange ship, suddenly all three kids are sucked in -- and land in a Narnian sea. On board the ship is King Caspian, now fully grown, who is determined to find a bunch of knights exiled by his murderous uncle, even if he has to go to the edge of the world (literally).

Lucy and Edmund are thrilled to be back in Narnia again, but Eustance proceeds to make trouble any way he can, complaining and causing trouble among the crew. But there are problems more horrifying than any of them can guess, from dragons to sinister "gold water" to a region filled with their worst nightmares.

"The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is one of Lewis's most original and tightly-written Narnian adventures. It's also a bit of a break from form. After two books of battles against evil tyrants, "Voyage" simply goes where no man/woman/mouse has gone before, and gives us a view of the Narnian world as more than one isolated little region.

And in some ways, it's also the darkest Chronicle. Lewis explores the theme of greed here -- greed for power, beauty, money and magic -- and has some scenes both chilling and majestic. But his archly humorous style peeks through in several places, whether it's pompous mouse Reepicheep or tea with a reclusive old wizard.

Edmund and Lucy are their usual plucky selves, albeit a bit more mature than before. But "Voyage" also introduces one of Lewis' most interesting characters in Eustace Clarence Scrubb. Like Edmund, Eustace is initially a peevish, lying boy who generally makes trouble, but slowly learns his errors. But unlike Edmund, Eustace doesn't have to ally himself to the baddie to learn that.

"Voyage of the Dawn Treader" was a turning point for the Narnia Chronicles, as well as the one that began venturing into darker territory. Engaging and tightly written.

5.0 out of 5 stars a magical voyage to the ends of the Narnian world, 12 Jan 2003
By A. Craig "Amanda Craig" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader" (Chronicles of Narnia) (Paperback)
I particularly love this book (and The Silver Chair)out of all the Narnia Chronicles because I went to a progressive school just like that of Eustace Scrubb. Eustace is the horrid cousin of two of the original four who found their way into Narnia in The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe, and in this sequel to Prince Caspian all three are sucked into a picture in the spare room wall to join Caspian in his quest. He is searching for the seven seafaring Lords who left his wicked Uncle Miraz to search for the end of the world.
There are many marvellous adventures, including a fight with a sea-serpent and an island-pool that turns everything to gold, but the best chapters concern the reform of Eustace after greed turns him into a dragon.

3.0 out of 5 stars An unforgettable voyage!, 13 Jan 2008
This review is from: The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader" (Chronicles of Narnia S.) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Voyage on the Dawn Treader is about Lucy and Edmund, when they are sent to stay with their cousin Eustace Scrubb for a holiday. In the room Lucy and Edmund are staying in there is a picture of a Narnian ship - the Dawn Treader. On board that ship is Prince Caspian and when they fall through that picture Caspian immediately recognises Lucy and Edmund but not Eustace. When they are rescued from the sea and boarded on to the ship, they're given dry clothes and a nice meal. The reason for this trip is to get to the end of the world as a request by Aslan - the Great Lion! I would rate this book 5/ 10 and I reckon this book is suitable for 9 - 13 year olds.
