The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Child wanted to read collection

This book is fascinating and written by a master storyteller. The allegory contains so many levels of meaning, and you emerge at the end of the story with a much deeper sense of Truth and inspiration than before you started.

Great book by itself, anf this is by far the best edition of it - white pages, full -coloured illustrations.

The Voyage of The Dawn Treader is a classic sea story comparable to Homer's Odyssey. It starts shortly after where Prince Caspian ends, and we encounter both ferocious sea serpents and harsh opinionated humans, yet unconditional love triumphs over all. Most fascinating of all is Reepicheep the valiant mouse who bravely encounters and befriends a dragon - his natural enemy! We see the imperfections in Caspian and Lucy and are reminded that they are every bit as human as are we. Best of all, it is a delightful read. I enjoy taking Voyage of the Dawn Treader to the beach and read it while listening to the waves! As the movie is being released soon, I believe it wise to read the book first, or right after. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader belongs on the bookshelves of those who wish to sail into a delightful saga of the sea.

I realise that all the information on characters in "The Dawn Treader" would be based in the book. But not being a book reader I found the collection of animals and people on the ship a lot to digest. The only ones I can recall(besides the 3 children and King Caspian)are Reepicheep,the Captain and the bull like creature.Perhaps this is sufficient, I don't know,what Lewis intended.Edmund and Lucy really shine in treader,and cousin Eustace the brat too starts to find his feet when Reepicheep decides to train him up.When Aslan first appears to Lucy I suddenly thought to myself where has he been. But there again the wise lion only appears when he feels it is best for Lucy. The battle scene at the utter east before Aslan's Country is splendidly read. Will Edmund be tempted by the white witch or find courage against her?Where does the mouse choose to go?I could have done less with the 7 trials for the swords, a bit tedious.But there again when the peace of all Narnia is at stake why not.A good family audio casette.
