Beautiful edition for a great, timeless classic.

September 13, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

What can be said about this book that has not already been said? It is charming, witty, beautiful, and exciting. Lewis captures the human spirit and brings out what is most honorable in people. He answers through children fantasy stories the purpose of life.

In all his stories I am amazed how equal his treatment with the sexes is. In today's dystopian novels girls are treated like boys. In Lewis' adventure stories, the girls play an equally important role as the boys yet maintain their unique character and qualities that enrich and complement the male characters in the story.

I would make this review about all of Lewis' Narnia Chronicles so it doesn't provide any particular information about this one. I figured everyone has read them already.

In a nutshell Lucy Pevensie and her cousin, the odious Eustace, fall through a painting and find themselves on an ocean in Narnia. Prince Caspian, whom Lucy had already met in the book by that name, is Captain of the ship, The Dawn Treader, which plucks them out of the water.

Caspian is looking for the seven lost Lords. This hunt takes them all over the ocean and to different countries where they meet very different kinds of people, some friendly, some not. They have to overcome sea creatures and dragons and finally come to the end of the world where a gallant mouse Reepicheep longs to go to live with the Emperor beyond the sea.

There is no down time in this book. Every chapter is a story on its own. Best of all is the recurring theme of redemption. In this case Eustace is not only on a high adventure but a spiritual journey as well.

This particular edition is large with the original illustrations of Pauline Baynes. It is perfect for a read aloud setting.

Great way to read these classics to the kids

September 5, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I wanted my kids to love this series the way I did when I was a child, but they wouldn't read these on their own. I decided to read them as bedtime stories at night, but the small paperbacks just didn't cut it. The pictures were too small and infrequent.

I found one of these in the library, and it was the perfect solution. The kids enjoyed the books far more than the little paperbacks, and as a result, we've read the entire Chronicles of Narnia series. I'd forgotten how much I loved them! And now my kids love them too.

Great for bedtime reading

April 25, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I started reading these to my 4 year old at bedtime and I love the format as it let's her get close and look at the pages. I believe the pictures are the same as the normal formatted books so don't expect a lot of extra illustrations but my daughter has not minded the lack of pictures and has really engaged in the story. I've only been able to find "The Lion, With and the Wardrobe", "Prince Caspian", and "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" in this format.

THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER by C. S. Lewis

January 29, 2011

Format: Hardcover

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952) is a children's fantasy novel, the third in C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. Here, Edmund and Lucy, along with their insufferable cousin Eustace, are pulled into Narnia to aid Caspian in his search for seven missing Narnian lords.

There isn't much of an overarching plot here as there are in Lewis's prior novels; it's much more episodic, as the Dawn Treader sails to one island after another, and to one adventure after another. And this is why the novel works so well: Lewis has given himself complete narrative freedom to do whatever he wants, and he uses the full measure of his wondrous imagination. The unexpected is here in a way unlike the previous stories, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has throughout it the full and free spirit of fantasy adventure.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a more charming read than either of Lewis's previous books in the series, and the primary reason is that Lewis, as narrator, has gotten himself rather more playfully involved, making humorous observations here and witty comments there, in a way reminiscent of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Lewis's characters' dialogue is also sharp and clever, certainly more so than in previous books. My general impression is that with this book, Lewis really got a handle on his Narnian storytelling.

As is usual for him, Lewis has a number of moral themes at work here: most obviously, he addresses greed on a number of occasions - greed for wealth, for status, and for beauty. Through Eustace, Lewis extols the virtues of being well-mannered and considerate of others, but he also attacks the notion that "modern values" are inherently superior.

Christian themes are not as prominent here as in some other works (except, of course, Christian virtue), but they can be found in some depth in Reepicheep's quest for Aslan's Country - his quest, as it were, for afterlife and the Kingdom of God. And this is an area of the story where Lewis excels. He does a fine job of balancing childish wonderment and mature gravity in his characters as they approach the end of the world, and Lewis's fleeting glimpses of what might lie beyond fire the spirit and the imagination.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is an outstanding adventure novel; it might be my favorite book in the series.
