Ad feedback Special Offers and Product Promotions Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Review The BBC Radio production of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a delightful two-hour sail on the most fabulous ship in Narnia. Lucy and Edmund, with their dreadful cousin Eustace, get magically pulled into a painting of a ship at sea. That ship is the Dawn Treader, and on board is Caspian, King of Narnia. He and his companions, including Reepicheep, the valiant warrior mouse, are searching for seven lost lords of Narnia, and their voyage will take them to the edge of the world. Their adventures include being captured by slave traders, a much-too-close encounter with a dragon, and visits to many enchanted islands, including the place where dreams come true. The adaptation is faithful to its source, C.S. Lewis's series of Narnia books, which have provided exciting and uplifting tales for generations of children. BBC Radio does wonders with sound effects--the ship creaks in the wind, the sorrowful dragon roars lugubriously--and musical cues and interludes that keep the pacing dynamic.

There's also a splendid cast of plummy British voices, making this far more than a book read onto cassette--it's an audio drama, as enjoyable as a trip to the theater. Grownups who buy this tape for their children will want to borrow it for themselves. (Running time: two hours, two cassettes) --Blaise Selby --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Read more From School Library Journal Grade 4-8-In the third book in C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia (but the fifth installment in Focus on the Family's Radio Theatre production), Edmund and Lucy Pevensy along with their bratty cousin, Eustace, are transported through a painting into Narnia where they join Prince Caspian on a voyage to the west. The children are tested on this voyage, and visit strange lands and encounter unusual creatures. Eustace is turned into a dragon, and then helped to return to human form by Aslan, the lion god. This outstanding full-cast dramatization adheres closely to the book's text. Recorded in London, actor Paul Scofield is the storyteller, and other parts are dramatically read by other British actors.

The production features sound effects and background music, which sometimes becomes obtrusive. While adults might find the story a little dated at times and the religious elements somewhat heavy handed, children will not notice and will enjoy the story. This is a more complete version of the story than the excellent BBC production available from Bantam Audiobooks (1998). Louise Sherman, formerly Anna C.

) Mass Market Paperback: 288 pages Publisher: HarperCollins; Reprint edition (March 5, 2002) Language: English Shipping Weight: 4.8 ounces ( View shipping rates and policies ) Average Customer Review: By J Lynn B on June 13, 2016 Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase The person who's been reading through The Narnian Chronicles will find in this final book of the 7 a difference in tone - a foreboding - right from the start. I'll try not to spoil anything with details; the story is good, but quite different than the others. Like the others, there are many quotable lines that show wisdom and spiritual maturity, and deserve to be pondered and shared. For example, one enticing line (paraphrased from memory) is: "Everyone receives what they truly seek." The Last Battle contains much of Lewis's theology of heaven (which he more fully explored in his novel "The Great Divorce" (the "divorce" is the separation between Heaven and Hell)), as well as in some of his stand-alone essays on the subject. We see who (Lewis believed) arrives in heaven and who does not, and why.

We see a kind of purgatory, and his view of "the new heaven and new earth" of Scripture. We see what is allowed and not allowed in each (though it is not always explained just why some of the allowances and restrictions exist). He provides some great metaphors for the afterlife (Good and Evil) which are worth meditating on and appreciating. Many who agree with the rest of Lewis's theology will disagree with some of his theology about heaven. But, as he says in one of his essays about belief in the Satan and demons, these are not crucial to the faith, they are opinions which he believes are the best answers we have at this point, and his faith (and ours) will not be thrown on the rocks if we discover the details to be otherwise. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: The Chronicles of Narnia, Book 3 Book Review What parents need to know Educational value Readers who enjoy this series will stretch their imaginations as they follow the characters through a number of adventures. The book gives readers a lot of questions to ponder, such as, what do you make of the book's Christian themes? Parents may want to explore some of the other ideas in the "Families Can Talk About" section.

Positive messages The idea of redemption resounds: Edmund, of course, betrayed his friends in his first visit to Narnia but has matured into a stalwart friend. Eustace enters as a selfish, hateful boy, but spending some time stuck in the form of a dragon proves a sobering experience, and he emerges humbled and wiser. Themes of loyalty and doing what’s morally right – rather than easy – also run through the story. Characters who are tempted to make a poor choice always take the better path, with guidance but no judgment from their supportive fellow-travelers. Positive role models The characters are the strength of this book. Lucy is a strong heroine, and both Eustace and Edmund demonstrate the possibility of redemption. Among the Narnians, Prince Caspian and the mouse Reepicheep are classic heroes in heart and action. Violence & scariness On several occasions it appears violence may be imminent, but the situations are resolved without anyone coming to blows. The children are captured by slave traders early on, and they repeatedly find themselves in very dangerous situations.

Parents Need to Know Parents need to know that this high-seas journey into the great unknown is a satisfying fantasy that can be appreciated on its own or as part of the seven-book Chronicles of Narnia series. Originally the third book in the series, it's the fifth book in editions that are ordered along the chronology in the stories. There are perilous moments, including encounters with a sea serpent and a terrifying Island of Dreams, but it all serves the story, and drawn weapons are put away without being used. The Christian theme that runs through the series is very clear here: The adventurers seek the country belonging to Aslan, a Christ-like figure who rules over Narnia in the form of a lion (though he also takes the shape of a lamb here). Aslan tells the children they must learn to know him by another name in their own country. That said, the book can easily be enjoyed as a fantasy without a Christian interpretation. User reviews Review this title! What's the story?

Edmund and Lucy are visiting their disagreeable cousin Eustace when they find themselves falling into a painting of a great ship: The siblings have returned to the magical country of Narnia, reuniting with Prince Caspian, and Eustace is along for the ride. The children join Caspian and his shipmates on an epic journey into the unknown Eastern Seas. They are seeking seven Narnian lords who had been banished by Caspian’s usurping uncle years ago – and perhaps, even, the land of Aslan, the mystical lion who watches over Narnia. The adventurers encounter enchanted islands, strange merfolk, a fearsome sea serpent, and more, testing their character and their loyalties time and again. Is it any good? QUALITY This fantasy is a classic for good reason. The characters are true and heroic, and their epic adventure sees them escape one danger after another through cleverness, wisdom, sheer bravery, luck, and divine intervention. Even the least appealing characters – the miserable Eustace, later the wearying Dufflepuds – are treated, ultimately, with kindness and affection. C.S.

Lewis draws out the good in his characters as they are challenged, and without fail the diverse companions prove their worth and mature further with each stage of the adventure. Throw in strange creatures, curious enchantments, and mysterious, magical islands, and you have an irresistible yarn. Young American readers will find it a bit dated: Originally published in 1952, it’s very British in tone. But kids who are up for the adventure probably will be charmed by those quirks. Families can talk about... Families can talk about this series. While the Narnia series stands on its own as a fantasy adventure, it also is appreciated as an exploration of Christian themes. How do you see Christian ideas represented here? Do you think Lewis wanted his book to speak specifically to Christians, or do you think he wanted his stories to strike a spiritual chord with readers of other religious faiths? Do you plan on seeing the movie based on this book ? Do you think that movies are ever as good as the books they are based on? If you were going to make this movie, is there anything that you would leave out -- or put in?

Book details Michael Apted to Direct The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - /Film /Film Michael Apted to Direct The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Posted on Tuesday, April 17th, 2007 by Peter Sciretta Neil Burger (The Illusionist) won’t be directing the third installment of the Chronicles of Narnia series after all. That turned out to be just a rumor . AICN breaks the big news: Michael Apted (The World is Not Enough) has been hired to helm the project. Apted’s filmography also includes: Amazing Grace, Enough, Enigma, Extreme Measures, Nell, Thunderheart, Class Action, and Gorillas in the Mist. Andrew Adamson, who directed the first two films, won’t be able to return because of the shortened release schedule. He will still be attached as a producer. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was originally published in 1952. It’s the third book in the series but the fifth in chronological order.

The book follows Lucy, Edmund, and their dreadful cousin Eustace on a magical sea journey aboard the Dawn Trader. The children are pulled into a painting of a ship at sea. On board is Caspian, King of Narnia and his companions, who are in search for seven lost lords of Narnia. The voyage will take them to the edge of the world (sound familiar? Yeah, Pirates stole this idea). Dawn Treader is currently in preproduction, and is scheduled for release in 2009/2010. Cool Posts From Around the Web: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Total copies sold: Over 100 million copies of all seven Narnia books (combined) have been sold since 1955. The books are frequently sold in box sets of all seven. (Source) According to Publisher's Weekly, since 1994, over 1 million copies of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader have been sold.

(Figures before 1994, when the Narnia books moved to Harper Collins, are not available.) On the Publisher’s Weekly list of all-time top-selling children’s books, compiled in 2003, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader places 373rd, ahead of The Last Battle and The Silver Chair. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is 91st. (Note that the Narnia books made this list using only sales figures from 1994 and after. If the list had been made using all-time sales, the series would surely place much higher. The list's top-seller, The Poky Little Puppy, has sold 14,898,341 copies. 100 million divided by 7 comes out to 14,285,714 copies of each book, if each book sold evenly.

However, it is clear that The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has sold more copies than the others in the series.) Sales by year: In 2005, the year the Walden Media film of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe was released, a Harper Collins publicist announced that nine times more Narnia books were sold than in 2004. (Source) In December 2005, a box set of the seven Narnia books was the top-seller on Amazon.com. (Source) Currently (October 2010), the Narnia box set is ranked 3, 957th on Amazon.com, and it is 61st in “Children’s books – Classics.” The stand-alone paperback edition of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is currently (October 2010) ranked 40,366th on Amazon.com. For comparison, the most popular book in the series, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, is ranked 12,072nd and Prince Caspian is 388,724th.

Advertising copy: I was unable to find any advertisements for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader or the first two Narnia books. However, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, The Magician’s Nephew and The Last Battle all appeared in full-page ads run by Macmillan showcasing new children’s books. Macmillan ran similar “New Books for Young Readers” full-page ads before the release of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, so I am not sure why the first three Narnia books do not seem to have been advertised in the US. Here is a PDF of an ad for The Silver Chair . Stage, film, music: In 1986 a stage production of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was produced by Vanessa Ford Productions at London’s Westminster Theater, following a 1984 production of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. (Source) From 1988 to 1990 the BBC produced a Narnia miniseries, which dramatized The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe; Prince Caspian; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; and The Silver Chair. It is available as a DVD box set.

( Amazon product description ) In the late 1980s the BBC also produced radio versions of the complete Chronicles of Narnia, which are available on CD. ( Amazon product description ) Focus on the Family’s Family Radio Theater produced radio drama versions of all seven Narnia books, which are available on CD. ( Amazon product description ) In 2000 Harper Audio began releasing its own series of Narnia audiobooks. Voyage of the Dawn Treader was released in 2003. ( Amazon product description ) A live-action film produced by Walden Media will be released on December 10, 2010. It is the third in their series of live-action Narnia films, following The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe in 2005 and Prince Caspian in 2008. The first two Narnia movies were co-produced by Disney, but after Prince Caspian made only $420 million (compared to $745 million for The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe), Disney dropped the Narnia franchise and Fox Studios picked it up and co-produced the Dawn Treader film.

Plans were made for a Voyage of the Dawn Treader game, but it was cancelled when the Dawn Treader movie moved from Disney to Fox.

The two youngest Dawn Treader Pevensie children, Lucy and Edmund, were staying with their odious cousin Eustace Scrubb during the final days of the second World War while their older brother and sister, Peter and Susan, were travelling to America with their parents. Edmund and Lucy felt they were being left out; Edmund attempted to join the army, but was unsuccessful and Lucy was upset by the feeling that she does not match up to her sister in looks. But one day, they observed a painting in Lucy's room of a grand ship on the sea that looked very Narnian, only to be interrupted by Eustace who mocked them. Suddenly, the painting came to life and the water spilled out into the room, transporting the three children into an ocean in Narnia. They rose to the surface to find themselves in the way of the ship from the painting, but were rescued by the crew and are taken aboard.

Among the ship's crew were King Caspian X and Reepicheep and the ship was the Dawn Treader, the first ship Narnia had seen in centuries. Also among the crew were Lord Drinian, the ship's captain and a small number of Narnians, including the Minotaurs, Tavros and Jemain. Caspian explained that three years have passed in Narnia and he was on a voyage to find the seven lost lords of Telmar, good men and friends of his late father, Caspian IX, whom his evil uncle Miraz banished when he usurped the throne many years earlier. Lucy and Edmund were delighted to be back in Narnia, but Eustace was less enthusiastic as he didn't want to believe he was in Narnia and was at odds with Reepicheep. Lucy even asked if Caspian had found a wife in the three years they had been gone; he smiled bashfully and admitted he had not, unaware that later events on the voyage would change that fact.

Lucy also asked what was beyond the Lone Islands; in a later conversation with Reepicheep when she heard him sing a song a dryad sang to him when he was a mousling, he said that he believed Aslan's Country lies beyond the Seas of the Utter East - a place he hoped to sail to on the voyage. Finally, they arrived at the Lone Islands and first made land in Narrowhaven; the Lone Islands are normally Narnian territory, but they discovered that Narrowhaven had become a haven for slave trade by Calormen. Caspian, Lucy, Edmund and Eustace were captured by the slave traders as merchandise. While imprisoned, Caspian and Edmund met one of the lost lords, Lord Bern, who was overwhelmed when Caspian revealed that he was the son of the late Caspian IX. Edmund then witnessed a group of slaves being sailed out to sea and disappearing when a mysterious green mist appears. Bern revealed those not sold were sacrificed to this mist that he and the other lords were investigating. The crew of the Dawn Treader arrived and rescued the four captive crew members, killing the slave trade leader and their men.

Caspian reclaimed Narrowhaven and named Bern its duke, who gave him one of the Seven Swords that the lords possessed, which were given to them by his father. One of the citizens, Rhince, whose wife Helene was one of those sacrificed to the mist, begged Caspian to let him join them so he could find her and Caspian agreed. But later, it was discovered that Rhince's young daughter, Gael, had stowed away on board the ship, but was accepted by Drinian and welcomed by Lucy. Lucy reading the Book Of Incantions The second island they visited was Magician's Island and Lucy was abducted by invisible Dufflepuds, who forced her to enter their oppressor's manor to recite a spell of visibility. She entered the manor and found the Book of Incantations, from which she ripped out a page containing a beauty incantation that would make her like her sister before reciting the visibility spell, making both the Dufflepuds and the magician, Coriakin visible again. Lucy and the others learned that Coriakin actually cast the invisibility spell to protect the Dufflepuds from the evil green mist that came from Dark Island.

To defeat the evil of Dark Island, the crew would have to locate the other Swords of the Seven Lords and lay them at Aslan's Table on Ramandu's Island, but Coriakin also warned them that they were all about to tested by temptation. In order to reach Ramandu's Island, they had to follow the Blue Star. During a storm at sea after leaving Magician's Island, Lucy nearly became the first victim to the mist's temptation because of her lack of self-value; she cast the beauty incantation and transformed into Susan. She then found herself at a party with Peter and Edmund, who recognised her as Susan and did not know of Lucy or Narnia. Realising that she no longer existed as Lucy, she awoke from the vision of the party as her normal self. Aslan appeared to her in a mirror and explained that she wished herself away and much more with it because she doubted her value. Her brothers and sister would not have known of Narnia if it was not because of her, as she was the one who discovered it.

After Lucy threw the page containing the beauty incantation into the fire, the mist moved to torture Caspian and Edmund with their own personal demons; Caspian had nightmares of his father and the mist appeared to Edmund as Jadis, the White Witch. The crew then made a stop at a volcanic island, where Caspian, Edmund and Lucy found a pool of water that turns anything it touches to gold, along with Lord Restimar, who fell into the pool and was turned to gold himself. After successfully claiming his sword, Edmund was tempted by the pool's powers and challenged Caspian over who is more worthy of being king. They fought, but Lucy stopped them and warned them that they were being tempted, just like Coriakin warned them. Elsewhere, Eustace left the group to avoid participating in the work and found treasure that aroused his greed, filling his pockets with gold and jewels and put on a large golden bracelet from a skeleton. When Caspian, Edmund and Lucy returned to the boats and realised that Eustace was missing, Caspian and Edmund went looking for him. They came across the treasure themselves and found Eustace's clothes burnt, but no sign of Eustace.

Caspian then spotted the skeleton and identified it as Lord Octesian, while Edmund found his sword. Suddenly, a dragon attacked the Dawn Treader and abducted Edmund, flying him over the island and showing him giant words it made with fire that say "I AM EUSTACE". They all realised that Eustace must've been tempted by the treasure and transformed into a dragon as a result. The Pevensies, Caspian, Reepicheep, Rhince and Gael stayed ashore that night, keeping Eustace company. Reepicheep comforted Eustace, stating that maybe being turned into a dragon was a sign that he had a great destiny ahead of him; Eustace then helped the crew get to their destination the next day when Gael spotted the Blue Star in the sky. The crew finally arrived at Ramandu's Island and discoverd Aslan's Table, served with food and three lost lords under a spell. Caspian warned the crew that the food was responsible and when Edmund spotted the Stone Knife, they laid the swords on the table, realising that one was still missing.

Suddenly, the Blue Star descended from the sky and turned into a beautiful young woman; she was Lilliandil, the daughter of Ramandu and Caspian immediately fell in love with her. Lilliandil warmly welcomed them and invited them to eat, stating that the food was safe and for them. She then explained that the three lords were under a sleeping spell because they were threatening violence upon each other by the time they reached the island, for violence is forbidden at Aslan's Table and they would only awake when the seventh sword was put with the others. She guided them to the location of the final sword; Dark Island itself and warned them that they will need great courage. Before Lilliandil returned to the sky, Caspian told her that he hoped they would meet again and she reciprocated his wish with a smile. Upon arriving at Dark Island, the crew discovered the seventh lord, Lord Rhoop and brought him abroad. Rhoop warned them not to think of their fears, but Edmund failed and his fear manifested as a sea serpent that attacked the ship.

Mad with Edmund and Lucy in the Dawn Treader fear, Rhoop threw his sword at Eustace, stabbing him and Eustace flew away, landing on a sandy island nearby. There, he was approached by Aslan, who turned him back into a boy and sent him back to Ramandu's Island to place Rhoop's sword with the others. The mist tried to distract Edmund by appearing as Jadis again, but Eustace suceeded in getting the seven swords together and Edmund managed to overcome his own demons as he slayed the sea serpent. The spell was lifted, the three lords awoke from their sleep, the sacrificed people, including Gael's mother, reappeard and Eustace rejoined the crew. Soon afterwards, Caspian, Reepicheep, Lucy, Edmund and Eustace headed to the World's End, sailing in a small boat through a sea of lillies until they reached a shore with a massive wave. Aslan appeared and told them that His Country lay beyond the wave, but they would never return if they chose to go on.

Caspian was offered the chance to go on when asking if his father is in Aslan's Country, but chose to stay out of realising that he already had what he needed in Narnia and that his father would not have wanted him to give up what he died for. However, Reepicheep came forward and gained Aslan's blessing to see His Country; he bid farewell to his friends, including Eustace who was devastated at his departure, and paddled in a coracle up the wave and onto Aslan's Country, never again to be seen in Narnia. Aslan then opened a portal in the wave to send the children home, telling them that Edmund and Lucy would not return to Narnia because they had grown up, like Peter and Susan, but encouraged them to know him by another name in their own world. However, Eustace, now a much kinder person from his time in Narnia as a dragon, could return someday. Edmund and Lucy bid a final farewell to Aslan and Caspian, before entering the portal along with Eustace.

The three returned to Eustace's bedroom where the water returned to the painting and Eustace's mother called out to him that Jill Pole had come for a visit. The three watched sadly as the Dawn Treader sailed away in the painting and disappeared behind the waves.

For the film, see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (film) . "But it was the smell, the wild, briny smell, which really convinced Lucy that she was not dreaming." The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Book information The Silver Chair The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader", the third book in the series (fifth in chronological order) of The Chronicles of Narnia , where Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, as well as their priggish cousin, Eustace Scrubb , return to Narnia . There they accompany King Caspian on a voyage to find the seven lords who were banished when Caspian's uncle Miraz stole the throne.

This perilous journey brought them face to face with many wonders and dangers, as they sailed toward Aslan's Country at the eastern end of the world. The story took place in the Narnian-year 2306/Earth year 1941/1942. (These dates were not drawn from the original books, but from later sources that don't necessarily harmonize with the story line.) See the note on typography below about the italics in the book's title. Contents On Board the Dawn Treader The Lone Islands The Storm and What Came of It The Adventures of Eustace The Beginning of the End of the World The Wonders of the Last Sea The Very End of the World Plot Summary The Painting The story began with the introduction of Eustace Clarence Scrubb, an unpleasant boy who was the cousin of the Pevensie children. The youngest of the Pevensies, Edmund and Lucy, were staying at Eustace's house, and were not fond of their cousin because of the way he teased them about Narnia and how they talked about it.

The adventure began when Edmund and Lucy were looking at a painting in Lucy's room, and remarked how Narnian the ship in the picture looked. Eustace walked in and began teasing them again about Narnia when suddenly, much to their surprise, the waves and ship seemed to be moving! Suddenly the three of them were drawn into the painting and found themselves floating beside the magnificent ship. Someone from the ship jumped into the water and brought Lucy alongside to have her lifted up, followed by Edmund, and finally the completely miserable Eustace. The rescuer turned out to be King Caspian X, whom the Pevensies had helped restore to the throne of Narnia. Caspian was entertained by Eustace's cries to be let off from the ship, and ordered wine for the three. Eustace groaned when a large mouse stepped from a nearby cabin and addressed Lucy. The mouse turned out to be Reepicheep , hero of the Second Battle of Beruna . He greeted Lucy politely, but threatened Eustace for his lack of courtesy. Caspian offered his cabin to Lucy while he, Edmund and Eustace would share a cabin.

The children, except for Eustace, were introduced to the captain of the ship, the Lord Drinian , and then sat down with Caspian to discuss what had happened since their last visit to Narnia (one year had passed in England while three had passed in Narnia). Caspian had left Narnia in the care of Trumpkin during this voyage, the purpose of which was to locate the Seven Noble Lords, find them, and if any of them died then avenge their deaths. The Lords were: - Lord Restimar , And finally, Lord Rhoop . Miraz had sent all these men out to sea after the death of Caspian's father . However, Reepicheep's purpose was to sail to Aslan's own land. The voyage had already taken the ship beyond the Seven Isles , and was now bound for the Lone Islands , beyond which no one had ever been. Lucy decided to go tend to Eustace, who was suffering from seasickness. Caspian had luckily brought with him her cordial, so she took it to the boys' cabin to help her cousin. He reluctantly took a drop from the cordial and instantly began feeling better.

After much ado about nothing, he decided to put on the fresh clothes left for him, and came out on deck. All were taken on a tour of the ship, and while Lucy and Edmund marveled at the workmanship, Eustace was not impressed, and relayed his feelings in a diary, in which he complained about everything from the company to the food. Plan of the Dawn Treader It was not long before Eustace learned an important lesson concerning his treatment of mice, especially Reepicheep. Having taken the mouse by the tail and swinging him around a few times, Reepicheep stabbed Eustace with his sword and challenged him to a duel. The Lone Islands It was the following morning when the voyagers arriveed at the Lone Islands. Lucy longed to walk on the green turf of Felimath , even though most civilization was on Doorn . Caspian decided that they could land, walk across the island, and have the Dawn Treader pick them up on the other side. Caspian, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace and Reepicheep all disembarked and began the stroll across the island. They were not long on the island before they came upon several men under a tree.

Caspian instructed his men to keep silent about their true identities. The men invited them to have a drink with them, and Caspian learned that His Sufficiency, Gumpas , was Governor of the Lone Islands . The voyagers barely got the cups to their lips when the men surrounded and bound them. They were to be taken to Narrowhaven to be sold as slaves. The leader marveled at Reepicheep's ability to talk, and determined that he would be the most expensive of the lot. Before he could load his catch onto a boat, Pug , one of the slavers, was stopped by a fine-looking man. The man inquired as to the price of Caspian. The discussion ended with the man paying 150 Calormene crescents for Caspian, who was then separated from the others. Pug loaded Lucy, Edmund, Eustace and Reepicheep in the cargo hold of his boat and headed for Narrowhaven. Meanwhile, Caspian was informed that he had been purchased because he reminded the man of Caspian IX . Caspian decided to reveal his true identity.

After offering some evidence, the Lord Bern (one of the seven lords) kneeled and kissed Caspian's hand. Caspian questioned him about how he came to the Lone Islands, and then about the loyalty of Gumpas. It was decided that he should not pursue Pug to rescue the others, but should make it appear that there were more of them than there really were to fool Gumpas into submission. The plan was carried out, and Caspian rejoined the Dawn Treader and spend the night at Bern's home. The following morning, Caspian and his men, with the Lord Bern and his men, proceeded into Narrowhaven and up to the Governor's castle where they met no resistance until they pounded on the castle gate. A slovenly man with messy hair and an ugly dirty hat on his head appeared, and mumbled the proper times for conferences with the governor. Bern's men pushed aside the gatekeeper and opened the gates for Caspian's procession to enter the castle grounds. Once inside, Caspian instructed the Captain of the guard to assemble his troops in the proper array by noon the following day or else.

Caspian, Bern, Drinian and four others went to Gumpas's throne room to address matters. Caspian told the governor that the tribute dues for the Lone Islands had not been paid for over 150 years, and that the practice of slavery was to be stopped immediately. Unable to comply with the wishes of the king, Caspian relieved Gumpas of his office, making Bern the Duke of the Lone Islands. Having established the new anti-slavery laws, Caspian proceeded to the slave market and saved his friends from their captivity. All had been sold except Eustace, who no one wished to buy. Caspian was able to recover his friends, and ordered Pug to repay the money the Calormens had spent on them. Cover of the 1980 Edition Eustace's Diary Once the Dawn Treader was repaired and supplied, the voyagers continued on beyond the Lone Islands, prompting Eustace to write more in a diary. Once at sea, the voyagers encountered a storm that last for nearly two weeks and drained the ship's supply of water and food to nearly zero.

Water was closely rationed, much to Eustace's dismay who insisted that if the men worked harder, they would need less water. Several days later, Eustace was caught attempting to steal water, and was sharply rebuked. A few days later, the crew spotted land. Eustace stopped his diary here and forgot about keeping it for a long time. Dragon Island When the voyagers went ashore, Eustace sneaked away to avoid work and became lost in the mountains. It was not until dinner that the rest of the crew realized that Eustace was gone. He had, however, fallen into a valley and was unable to crawl out because of the steep sides. A noise distracted him, and he turned to see a dragon emerging from a cave. Frozen with fright, Eustace could only stand and watch, as the beast crawled toward a small pool and fell over. He slowly approached the dragon, relieved to find that it was dead. A sudden rain storm then sent him into the dragon's cave for shelter. There he was amazed to find treasure beyond his imagination. He stuffed his pockets and slipped a large golden arm-ring up on his left forearm. It was not long before he fell asleep on the dragon's gold.

Some time later he was awakened by a pain in his left arm, and was frightened to discover that he had been turned into a dragon. The golden arm-band was still on his forearm, but was stuck due to his arm being much larger than it was before. Unsure of what to do, he came to the realization that the others were not so bad after all, and that he would really like the opportunity to speak to them all again. He attempts to crawl out of the precipice by jumping, and was amazed to find that he could fly. With his new-found ability, Eustace flew to the beach where the voyagers came ashore. Caspian's crew were alarmed when the dragon landed on the beach, and preparations were made to go fight the beast. As they approached him, Lucy sees that it is crying and runs to him. After an amount of speculation and questioning, the voyagers discover that the dragon is in fact Eustace. Caspian realizes that the golden arm-band is that of the Lord Octesian, and that he probably got no further than this island.

Eustace becomes a much better person as a dragon, and assists the crew by toppling a tree to replace the damaged mast, killing animals for food, and taking them on flying tours of the island. Several days after turning into a dragon, Eustace was taken into the mountains by Aslan himself and told to disrobe. After some effort, Eustace was able to shed his dragon skin, but not completely. Several attempts to shed the dragon skin fail before Aslan steps in. He cuts the dragon flesh deeply and peels the skin off to free Eustace. Aslan then bathes and dresses Eustace before returning him to the beach where he tells his tale to Edmund before gloriously rejoining the others. The ship sets sail, but not before Eustace turns over the Lord Octesian's arm-ring. Caspian flings it to a mountain, where it would hang on a rock. The Island is henceforth named Dragon island. The Sea Serpent Soon after leaving Dragon Island, the Dawn Treader finds another, smaller landmass.

The island has only a ruined village (believed to be the work of pirates or the dragon), but they find a small coracle (a simple boat) that Reepicheep takes as his own. They call the land Burnt Island (due to the scorched shoreline), and continue eastwards. At sea, they are briefly attacked by a massive Sea Serpent, which attempts to constrict the Dawn Treader into matchwood. The crew, led by Reepicheep, managed to push the ship out of the monster's coils, although the stern's decorative dragon tail was damaged in the process. During the battle, Eustace attacked the beast to help save the ship from danger. Though Eustace wasn't as helpful as he hoped (only succeeding in breaking Caspian's second-best sword on the Serpent's scales), the crew noted his newfound bravery and willingness to help, and applauded him for it. As such, Eustace began to become a more likeable person, and the others treat him better in return. Deathwater Island Days after the Sea Serpent's attack, the crew sighted land and went ashore to refill the water casks.

After doing so at one of two streams on the island, Lucy, Edmund, Caspian, Reepicheep and Eustace decided to go exploring before returning to the ship. They climbed to find the source of the stream, from which they did not take water. During a short break, Edmund sat on something unusually sharp, which turned out to be an old Narnian sword, followed by a mail shirt, a helmet, a dagger and Narnian coins. They assumed that that was all that remained of one of the seven lords. Venturing further, the group saw a statue of a man, apparently made of solid gold, in a small pool. Desiring to remove the statue, Edmund took a spear and tested the water's depth before attempting any recovery. Once the spear was placed into the water, it became too heavy for Edmund to hold onto, and dropped it. When he did that, he suddenly ordered the others to fall back. The toe of his shoe, which had touched the edge of the water, was solid gold. It is now clear what had happened to the man - he had undressed and prepared to bathe in the pool, but was turned into gold as he dived in.

Realizing the value of the pool, Caspian claimed the land (dubbed Goldwater Island) for Narnia and swears all to secrecy on pain of death. Edmund denies his allegiance to the crown of Narnia, and the boys fight. Lucy cried for them to stop, but it was only when Aslan appeared for a moment that the boys stopped fighting and realized what fools they were being. The island is named Deathwater Island by Reepicheep, and all return to the Dawn Treader, unable to recount their tale to the crew, except for the discovery of a Narnian Lord's corpse in a pool. Island of the Dufflepuds After several days at sea, the Dawn Treader lands on an island. The usual party went ashore and went toward a small building on the island. Lucy, who had stopped to remove a rock from her shoe, heard the sound of thumping and thudding and, most mysteriously of all, voices. She saw where the ground was tred upon, but saw nothing. When the thumping faded, Lucy caught up with the others to tell them what she heard.

Several plans are offered and refused, and the final decision was to face the unseen adversary. When Caspian and the others arrive on the beach, a voice commands them to stop. Much dialogue leads to the understanding that the unseen creatures want Lucy to reverse a spell they put on themselves, which made them invisible. They wanted to be invisible because a magician, who had asked them to do some work, changed them into "uglified" forms when they refused to work. However, they were tired of being invisible and wished to be turned back to normal. They needed Lucy to read the spell because it was a little girl (one of their own) who read the invisibility spell. Lucy agrees. The following morning, Lucy proceeds to the second floor of the creatures' house where she is to locate a spell book and then find and read the spell for making the unseen seen. Lucy finds the book but must read past many spells before finding the one she is looking for. She sees a spell that would make her beautiful "beyond the lot of mortals." She desired to read it because she knows Susan is considered the pretty one, and she wanted to be beautiful too. Aslan's face appeared on the page and Lucy quickly moved on.

She finds, and reads, a spell that would let you know what others think about you. The results trouble her when she learns how some schoolmates are talking poorly about her. Finally, she finds the spell for making invisible things visible and reads it. After she has done so, she hears footsteps in the hall behind her. She turns to see Aslan at the doorway. Aslan scolded her mildly for eavesdropping on her schoolmates, and then took her to meet the magician. The magician, who was actually a "star", Coriakin , gives her lunch and shows her the invisible creatures now made visible. Lucy was amazed to see nearly 50 one-legged creatures bouncing about the yard. She leaves Coriakin and goes downstairs, much to the relief of Caspian and the others.

Before leaving the island of the Monopods (the race of dwarfs with only one big foot), who mixed this name with their old name of dwarfs to Dufflepuds , Coriakin magically repairs the Dawn Treader, creates a magical map of all the lands Caspian has seen on his voyage, and tells of a Narnian ship that passed through 7 years ago with the Lords Revilian, Argoz, Mavramorn and Rhoop, meaning the man at Deathwater Island must be the Lord Restimar. The Dark Island The voyagers set sail once again. After nearly a fortnight at sea, land is sighted. The shape of the land is indistinct, and appeared as more of a mist than an island. Darkness suddenly loomed before them, and the voyagers are reluctant to proceed. Only after some chiding from Reepicheep did Caspian decide to go forward with swords drawn and lights lit. The ship disappeared into the blackness, which had a seemingly unearthly quality to it. After several minutes of uncertain rowing, a cry was heard from some distance away. The stranger was urged to come toward the ship.

Several minutes later, a head was seen in the water next to the ship. The man brought on board was maniacal and pleading with them to row for their lives. He claimed that the island was one where dreams come true - not wants or desires, but real dreams...including the bad ones. Horrified, Caspian and the crew, turned the ship back and began rowing back toward the light, much to Reepicheep's dismay. Each person had visions of nightmares they had had in the past, each seeming very real to the dreamer. After some time and a prayer to Aslan, the ship emerged from the darkness. The man brought on board identifies himself as the Lord Rhoop, who asked to never be sent to that land again. Caspian and Rhoop look toward the Dark Island to find that it no longer existed. Ramandu's Island Several more days at sea brought the voyagers to land yet again. The usual party rowed to land to explore the island. They see several columns in rows, and between the rows a large table covered with the most magnificent feast any of them had ever seen. Seated at the table, fast asleep, were 3 men.

Caspian is unable to wake them. They only mumble about Narnia and sailing east. Caspian surmises that these are the remaining Lords and that their official quest is at an end. Reepicheep states that the three are probably in an enchanted sleep, caused by eating the food. Darkness is falling and the group decide to return to the Dawn Treader, all except for Reepicheep who wants to stay and find what adventures are about. Caspian, Edmund, Lucy and Eustace all decided to remain with him. Drinian returned to the ship while the others find seats that are not too close nor too far from the sleepers. Just before sunrise, the group sees a door open in the hillside near the table. A woman stepped from that doorway and approached the table. She inquires as to why they had not eaten any of the food. Caspian explains about the sleepers and the enchantment from the food. The woman explains that the three never tasted the food, but rather fell into the enchanted sleep by arguing amongst themselves.

In the argument, one of the men touched a stone knife (the same knife used on Aslan at the Stone Table many years before), which lay on the table and the sleep came upon them. Convinced, Reepicheep eats some of the food, and soon all are feasting. Caspian asks the girl how he can break the enchantment. She tells him that her father will explain how to undo the sleep. She points to the doorway through which she came, and a very old man comes from the same door. He stands on the opposite side of the table from his daughter and both turn to the east with their hands outstreched before them. They sing, as the sun rises over the horizon, shining first light on the table and the stone knife. Out of the center of the sun, the group could see a flock of birds flying toward them. The birds alight on everything, creating a snow-like look. One bird flies to the old man and puts a little strange-looking fruit which looked like a live coal into his mouth. The birds then devour every edible thing on the table before flying back into the sun, carrying with them all things which could not be eaten, leaving only dishes and utensils on the table.

The old man then addresses Caspian's party, introducing himself as Ramandu , a former star in the heavens. The voyagers question him about how to undo the enchantment. He tells them that they must sail as far east as they can and leave one of their party behind. Reepicheep is delighted to learn that that one must sail on to the world's end. Rhoop is permitted to remain on the island to get some much needed sleep while the rest of the ship's party is to sail east. Caspian earns the loyalty of his crew by telling them that not all will have the privilege of sailing to the end of the world and that Drinian and Rhince would be among those who decided who would stay and who would go. The crew is eventually convinced that they should go and Caspian takes all the other sailors except a man named Pittencream, who decided to stay on the island and wait for Caspian to come back. The Wonders of the Last Sea The ship sets sail toward the east and an apparently larger sun shines before them. While looking overboard at a perfectly calm, clear sea, Lucy notices that there are shapes that look rather like a road and forest under the water.

It is not long before she sees a large, underwater castle and sea people. The sea people, who are on a hunting expedition, spot the Dawn Treader and move closer to investigate. One of the sea people, who looks like a king, shakes his spear at Lucy in a menacing way. Just then, Edmund and Drinian come up behind her. She shows them the sea people. Drinian instructs them to turn around and not to look. It wouldn't do to have one of the crew fall in love with a sea person or underwater world. As he tells them this, a voice saying,"Man overboard!" is heard. The "man" is actually Reepicheep who was provoked to fight the sea-king. After Drinian pulls Reepicheep on board, he insisted that he stay quiet about what he had seen. However, Reepicheep was excited about something else entirely. The water was fresh and sweet, not slaty. Reepicheep repeats an old rhyme he heard while in his cradle about the waves growing sweet at the utter east. All members of the ship's company understand and drink the water, which gives them more tolerance for the increasing intensity of the sunlight.

It also made them less desiring of food or sleep. Caspian Tries to Abdicate After several days sailing eastward, Drinian and Caspian see on the horizon what appears to be ice. The Dawn Treader rows out of what appears to be a 40 foot wide current and stops while the boat is lowered to investigate. The white turns out to be lilies, miles of them as far as the eye can see. The boat returns and the ship resumes its course in the current and ever eastward. The depth finally becomes too shallow for the ship to continue and Caspian calls his crew together. He orders Drinian to take the ship and return to Narnia, where they, with Regent Trumpkin, will select a new king. Caspian is told that he cannot abdicate, but must return to Narnia. In a fit of anger, Caspian declares that none shall go on and all will return to Narnia. He storms to his cabin, where he is joined shortly by his usual companions. Caspian tells them that he has seen Aslan and has been instructed to let Edmund, Lucy, Eustace and Reepicheep go on.

Tearful farewells are bid and the four set off. Aslan's Country They sail on until the boat runs aground and can go no further. They are at the world's end and a great wave of water rises before them like a waterfall, not moving but ever flowing. Reepicheep lowers his coracle and paddles into the wave and is seen at the top of the wave one last time before disappearing forever. The children go ashore and walk across a green meadow in a most beautiful land. The sky seems to come down and meet the ground. Between them and the sky, there is a beautiful Lamb, who asks them to come and eat. The three approach the Lamb and ask how to get to Aslan's country. The Lamb replies that the way to Aslan's country is through their own world. The form of the Lamb changes and before them stands Aslan. Aslan tells the children that He will be telling them all of the time how to get to His country but for now they would have to go back to Earth. Lucy asks when they will be allowed to return to Narnia and, to their disappointment, He tells them that they will never come back for they are getting too old.

Lucy asks if Eustace will be returning, to which Aslan replies that it is not hers to know. Aslan opens a window in the sky and returns the children to the very room from which they came. Postscript It is noted that Caspian did return and married Ramandu's daughter and she bore him a son and was the grandmother of many kings. Secondly, the three Lords did wake up and returned to Narnia with Caspian. Finally, it is noted how those on this side of the wardrobe door recognized a change in Eustace for the better, except for Alberta, his mother. She said that he had grown more tiresome and commonplace and "it must have been the influence of those Pevensie children." Commentary The role of Aslan as a Christ-like figure is developed further; he appears at the end as a lamb, a Biblical image for Jesus; on the isle of Ramandu the imagery of Aslan's table is also used. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is unique in that it contains what might be called the "John 3:16" of the Chronicles of Narnia.

When asked by Edmund whether or not Aslan exists in their world he replies: "I am... but there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there." The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S.
