The Dawn Treader will take you places you never dreamed existed. Clive Staples Lewis was born in Belfast in 1898. As a child, he was fascinated by the fairy tales, myths, and ancient legends recounted to him by his Irish nurse. The image of a faun carrying parcels and an umbrella in a snowy wood came to him when he was sixteen. However, it was not until many years later, as a professor at Cambridge University, that the faun was joined by an evil queen and a magnificent lion. Their story became The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, one of the best-loved books of all time. Six further Chronicles of Narnia followed, and the final title, The Last Battle, published in 1956, was awarded the United Kingdom's highest mark of excellence in children's literature-the prestigious Carnegie Award. Pauline Baynes's illustrations for The Chronicles of Narnia span a remarkable career, beginning with The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe in 1949 and continuing with the hand-coloring of all seven titles forty years later. NARNIA . . . the world of wicked dragons and magic spells, where the very best is brought out of even the worst people, where anything can happen (and most often does) . . . and where the adventure begins. 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. Enter this enchanted world countless times in The Chronicles of Narnia. Lucy, Edmund, and their cousin, Eustace, are magically transported onto the ship, 'Dawn Treader', where King Caspian is searching for the seven friends of his father. On the voyage, the children meet many fantastical creatures, including the great Aslan himself. Full color. |
