Top reviews from the United States

Anthony Bosnick
5.0 out of 5 stars " 'There is a way into my country from all the worlds,' said the lamb; but as he spoke . . .
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2019
. . . his snowy white flushed into tawny gold and his size changed and he was Aslan himself, towering above them and scattering light from his mane" (p. 269).

This fifth book in "The Chronicles of Narnia" takes us to the end of the world and a surprise meeting with the beloved lion Aslan. We meet a new character, the annoying Eustace Clarence Scrubb, a cousin of the four Pevensie children. Of the four Pevensie children with whom we have previously traveled, only the younger two are on this journey, as the older two have moved on in their lives.

The blurb on the back cover of the book summarizes the action well:

"Narnia . . .where a dragon awakens . . . where stars walk the earth . . . where anything can happen.
"A king and some unexpected companions embark on a voyage that will take them beyond all known lands. As they sail further from charted waters, they discover that their quest is more than they imagined and that the world's end is only the beginning."

It is an enchanting journey, and not too scary, for children and adults too.

As I have previously written in this series of reviews of the books that form "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis, we are reading these seven fantasy novels in our parish book club, over a period of three months. For an overview of "The Chronicles of Narnia," our book club has also read Joseph Pearce's "Further Up and Further In," an excellent introduction. (I have reviewed this book on Amazon.com.)

Besides being a good story, Lewis includes moral and theological lessons, which enrich the reading (and discussion) of "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader."

Several editions of "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" are in print. I am not totally certain that this is the edition I read, but it likely is. The difference in the editions is based on whether it is a mass-market edition, a collectors edition, and whether the illustrations are in black and white, or have color added. The book I read is the mass market edition, and I don't have any complaints about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Sea Voyage
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2021
I absolutely love C.S. Lewis’ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It is full of fantastically magical creatures and exciting adventures for Lucy, Edmund, and their cousin Eustace. Although this is not the first book in The Chronicles of Narnia, the reader, whether returning or new to the series, is immediately drawn into the story by the first three paragraphs which describe Eustace, a new and quite unlikable character. As I read, I gradually realized the strong influence of classical literature in this book. The sailing from one unforgettable place to another, sometimes with an escape necessary, is reminiscent of Homer’s The Odyssey, although these interesting characters are clearly Lewis’ own ingenious creations. Royal mermaids and mermen hold a hunt for fish like one might hunt small game in England, but with a trained hawk. The Dawn Treader, belonging to King Caspian and carrying the children and a full crew, is attacked by a sea serpent capable of crushing the ship. There are invisible creatures, the Dufflepuds, who move by jumping wildly from one place to another. With another nod to classical literature, there is a Chief Voice among the Invisibles; his followers echo and affirm him just like a Greek chorus. C.S. Lewis’ literary background and expertise shine brightly in this book.

Woven into the recounting of their escapades, the book has serious themes that are addressed in a distinctly unpreachy way. A major one is greed as Eustace becomes like a dragon hoarding his treasure. Later the group finds pond with water that turns everything it contacts into gold. It also brings out bad character traits, and in the end they all disassociate themselves from the location which they name Deathwater Island. Not surprisingly, greed is also an important theme in The Odyssey.

Although there is not one to one symbolism comparisons between people and ideas found in Christianity and characters and concepts in The Chronicles of Narnia, there are certainly important similar themes. When the travelers need to make important choices, they often find that Aslan has appeared and is staring at them just as Jesus gives his followers wisdom when needed. Chapter 12, “The Dark Island,” is a metaphor for God rescuing us when we are going through dark times. In the last chapter, there is a depiction of going to Aslan’s country (i.e. heaven) and references to the Lion and the Lamb, important symbols in Christianity. These passages are so beautiful; I don’t want to spoil the experience with my own words. You need to read it for yourself as only C.S. Lewis, the inimitable storyteller, can convey the meaning and the feeling with his exquisite word pictures.
