Product Description

Amazon 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Voyaging 22 July 2005
By E. A Solinas HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format: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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 7 April 2008
By David Brookes
Format:Paperback
Third book printed, fifth book chronologically.

I began re-reading the Narnia series after coming across a beautiful boxed set of all seven novels. Mainly this was out of nostalgia, as these were favourites when I was young, and I was interested to see how they held up as adults. I found them all to be written very clearly with provocative descriptive prose, and narrative that often draws the reader immediately into the story.

This one's a fine companion to "Prince Caspian" and feels more like the second half of that novel rather than a novel in its own right, but this doesn't stop the enjoyment of the tail despite the feeling of implausibility that the reader gets at times. The growth of the characters following previous instalments is tangible and feels authentic however, and the whole thing is as entertaining as the books set before it.

7.5/10

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read. 29 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
To fully understand this book you need to have read Prince Caspian, & the lion the witch & the wardrobe. It is my favourite book of the Narnia chronicles, as there are some hilarious moments, the mice are very funny!! It is set about 30 - 40 years ago, & you can tell that straight away!! The book has been written carefully, using good decripitions. It is very drawing & it is hard to put down. A really good Book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dawn Treader revisited.
This is probably the most joyful and in some ways the saddest of the tales of Narnia, in that we never go to that country but have many adventures far away. Read more

If you are not familiar with Narnia prepare for an extra-ordinary sea voyage that starts in a most surprising way and is shot full of magic and mystery.
