The Dawn Treader is the first ship Narnia has seen in centuries. King Caspian has built it for his voyage to find the seven lords, good men whom his evil uncle Miraz banished when he usurped the throne. The journey takes Edmund, Lucy, and their cousin Eustace to the Eastern Islands, beyond the Silver Sea, toward Aslan's country at the End of the World.


Next to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, this is my favourite Narnia book. I really like Caspian, and while I miss Peter and Susan, I enjoy following the slow change in Eustace.

For the first time ever I found myself annoyed with the wizard though. It's pretty arrogant of him to leave the Dufflepuds as they are just because he thinks they look better that way. Can't remember ever having been bothered by that before.

The voyage over the eastern-most sea was beautifully described. Made me want to be right there with them.

Eustace, Puddleglum, and Shasta are my three favorite Narnia characters. I think I like them prickly.

I'm currently listening to The Silver Chair - I'd forgotten how much I love Puddleglum!
