The Voyage of the Dawn Treader [a] is a high fantasy novel for children by C. Lewispublished by Geoffrey Bles in It was the third published of seven novels in — and Lewis had finished writing it inbefore the first book was out. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile the others, it was illustrated by Pauline Baynes and her work has been retained in many later editions. Lewis dedicated the book to Geoffrey Corbett. He is the foster-son of Owen BarfieldThe Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile friend, teacher, adviser and trustee of Lewis. Macmillan US published an American edition within the calendar year [1] [3] with substantial revisions that were retained in the US until The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has been adapted and filmed as four episodes of a BBC television series in Book 5) as a feature film in The two youngest Pevensie children, Lucy and Edmundare staying with their odious cousin while their older brother, Peteris studying for an exam with Professor Kirkeand their older sister, Susanis travelling through America with their parents. Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace are drawn into the Narnian world through a picture of a ship at sea. The painting, hanging neglected in the guest bedroom in which Lucy was staying, had been an unwanted present to Eustace's parents. The three children land in the ocean near the pictured vessel, the titular Dawn Treaderand are taken aboard. Also present on board are the Lord Drinian the captain of the Dawn Treader and the first mate Rhince. Peace has been established in the three years since then, and Caspian has undertaken a quest in fulfilment of his coronation oath to sail east for a year and a day and find the seven lost Lords of Narnia : Argoz, Bern, Mavramorn, Octesian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile, Revilian, and Rhoop. He mentions that the dwarf has been left in charge of Narnia as Lord Regent in his absence. Lucy and Edmund are delighted to be back in the Narnian world, but Eustace is less enthusiastic, as he has never been there before and had taunted his cousins with his belief that this alternate universe had never existed. The Talking Mouse is also on board, as he hopes to find 's Country beyond the seas of the "utter East". When Eustace teases Reepicheep, much is revealed about the mouse's Book 5) character. They first make landfall in the Lone Islandsnominally Narnian territory but fallen away from Narnian ways: in particular the slave trade flourishes here, despite Narnian law stating that it is forbidden. Caspian, Lucy, Edmund, Eustace and Reepicheep are captured as merchandise by a slave trader, and a man "buys" Caspian before they even reach the slave market. He turns out to be the first lost lord, Lord Bernwho moved to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile islands and married a woman there after being banished from Narnia by . When Caspian reveals his identity, Bern acknowledges him as King. Caspian reclaims the islands for Narnia, and replaces Gumpas, the greedy governor, with Lord Bern, whom he names Duke of the Lone Islands. At the second island they visit, Eustace leaves the group to avoid participating in the work needed to render the ship seaworthy after a storm has damaged it, and hides in a dead dragon 's cave to escape a sudden downpour. The dragon's treasure arouses his greed: he fills his pockets with gold and jewels and puts on a large golden bracelet; but as he sleeps, he is transformed into a dragon. As a dragon, he becomes aware of how bad his previous behaviour was. He attempts to shed his dragon skin without success. It is only with the help of Aslan that he is able to become human again, though the process is very painful. Caspian recognises the bracelet: it belonged to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile Octesian, another of the lost lords. They speculate that the dragon killed Octesian — or The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile that the dragon was Octesian. Aslan turns Eustace back into a boy, and as a result of his experiences he is now a much nicer person. They Book 5) escape being sunk by a sea-serpent and stop at Deathwater Island, so named Book 5) a pool of water which turns everything immersed in it into gold, including one of the missing lords who turns out to have been Lord Restimar. Then they land on the Duffers ' Island, where Lucy removes an invisibility spell from the Duffers later Dufflepuds at their request and befriends the Magician who cast it. Eventually they reach the Island of the Star, where they find the three remaining lost lords in enchanted sleep. Ramanduthe fallen star who lives on the island with his daughter, tells them that the only way to awaken them is to sail to the edge of the world and there to leave one member of the crew behind. Lord Rhoop wishes to "sleep without dreams" beside his friends until they wake and everyone agrees before they set out again. The Dawn Treader continues sailing into an area where merpeople dwell and the water turns sweet rather than salty, as Reepicheep discovers when he belligerently jumps in to fight a mer-man who he thinks challenged him. At last the water becomes so shallow that the ship can go Book 5) farther. Caspian orders a boat lowered and announces that he will go to the world's end with Reepicheep. The crew object, saying that as King of Narnia he has no right to abandon them. Caspian goes to his cabin in a temper, but returns to say that Aslan appeared in his cabin and told him that only Lucy, Edmund, Eustace, and Reepicheep will go on. These four named venture in a small boat through a sea of lilies until they reach a wall of water that extends into the sky. Fulfilling 's condition, Reepicheep paddles his coracle up the waterfall and is never again seen in Narnia. Edmund, Eustace, and Lucy find a Lamb, who transforms into Aslan and tells them that Edmund and Lucy will not return to Narnia and that they should Book 5) to know him by 'another name' in their own world. He then sends the children home. It is mentioned that the four lords woke again when Caspian returned to Book 5) island and he married Ramandu's daughter. Eventually, the Dawn Treader and everyone else safely return to Narnia. Back in the human world, everyone remarks on how Eustace has changed and "you'd never know him for the same boy" — although his mother believes that Edmund and Lucy have been a bad influence on him in the way that they have made him "commonplace and tiresome". Several weeks or months after reading the proofs for the British edition of The Chronicles[ clarification needed ] Lewis read through the proofs for the American edition. While doing so, he Book 5) several changes to the text. When HarperCollins took over publication of the series in they made the unusual decision to ignore the changes that Lewis had made and use the earlier text as the standard for their editions. In Dawn TreaderLewis made two changes; one minor and one of more substance. The minor change appears in the first chapter where Lewis changes the description of Eustace from "far too stupid to make anything up himself" to "quite incapable of making anything up himself". Paul Ford, author of Companion to Narniasuggests that Lewis might have felt the need to soften the passage for his American readers or perhaps he was starting to like Eustace better. Lewisnotes that the passage should have been changed in both cases as "calling a character 'stupid' in a children's book is insensitive and unwise". The more substantive change appears in Chapter 12, "The Dark Island", where Lewis rewrote the ending in a way that, Schakel maintains, improves the imaginative experience considerably. The reader cannot [in this version] dismiss the island as unreal or as no longer existing: it is still there, and anyone who can get to Narnia still could get caught in it. More important, the inserted analogy, with its second-person pronouns, draws readers into the episode and evokes in them the same emotions the characters experience. This is no laughing matter, as the earlier version risks making it. I would give all my treasure not to hear it. Boucher and McComas found Voyage "not quite up to the high level set by previous Narnian adventures". They singled out Reepicheep for praise as "one of Lewis's finest imaginings. Researcher Sue Baines wrote: "In contrast to other Narnia books, Dawn Treader has virtually no overt villains, other than the slavers in the very beginning who are quickly overcome and disposed of. Rather, the plot confronts the protagonists again and again with the flaws of their own character. Eustace's greediness and general bad behavior cause him to turn into a dragon, and he must work hard to show himself worthy of becoming human again; Caspian is tempted to seize the magic pool which turns everything to gold — which would have turned Caspian himself into a greedy tyrant ready to kill in order to preserve his power and wealth; later, Caspian faces the nobler but still wrong-headed temptation to go off to Aslan's Country and abandon his responsibilities as a King; Lucy is tempted to make herself magically beautiful, which would have led to her becoming the focus of terrible wars devastating Narnia and all its neighbors; and having resisted this temptation, she succumbs to a lesser temptation to magically spy on her schoolmates — and is punished by hearing malicious things and destroying what could have developed into an enduring nice friendship. Edmund, who had undergone a very severe test of his character on his first arrival in Narnia, is spared such an experience in the present book, and acts as the most mature and grown-up member of the group. Arguably, Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the novel which shows the most influence of Lewis' Irish background. It is reminiscent of the Immram genre of Irish literature. The novel also underscores the idea of Aslan representing Jesus Christ. In the end of the novel Aslan appears as a lamb which has been used as a symbol for him, in a scene evoking the Gospel of John You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little you may know me better there'". In chapter 13 Ulysses in Dante's Inferno Canto 26 v.

LewisThe Voyage of the Dawn Treader reunites readers with the two younger Pevensie children, Lucy and Book 5), who are catapulted back into the land of Narnia via a painting of a ship on a bedroom wall. As they stare at the painting, suddenly the ship begins to move, the sea waves spray the children with briny foam, and they are pulled into the painting and back into Narnia. Aboard the ship are King Caspian, from the second book, , and his entourage, who are on a quest to discover the fate of the seven lords of Narnia who sailed west and never returned. This quest and the ensuing adventures form the outline of the book. When he awakes, he finds that through his greediness and selfishness, he has himself become a dragon, the outer form manifesting his inner self. He eventually tries to shed his skin, along with his dragonish nature, by bathing himself in the pool, but to no avail, a clear picture of the self-effort of man to cleanse himself of sin through works of some sort Romans ; Galatians ; Philippians ,9. When he is finally confronted by Aslan, the great lion of Narnia who is the picture of Christ in the series, it is Aslan himself who must remove the rough, scaly dragon skin with his claws. Aslan then dresses him in new clothes, the whole process being symbolic of the Christian becoming a new creation The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile Christ. From that point forward, Eustace begins to be a better boy. He still has lapses, but his transformation has begun. Here is a picture of the Christian life. Aslan reappears in times of need throughout the book, which is reminiscent of the presence of the Holy Spirit who guides and directs the believer John At one point, Caspian and Edmund nearly come to blows when they are temporarily blinded by greed and lust upon discovering a pool that turns everything to gold. It is only the appearance of Aslan pacing slowly on a nearby hill that brings them to their senses and convinces them that this is a place with a curse upon it. They name the island Deathwater and determine never to return. I will. She became horribly afraid and turned Book 5) the page at once. Aslan, the embodiment of the Spirit of God, appears to Lucy again later, not to convict of sin, but to encourage and sustain her faith. The ship is engulfed in Book 5) terrifying darkness from which there seems to be no escape. Then it takes the shape of a bird that circles the mast and leads the ship out of the darkness. Here is a picture of Christ the bird who leads His people the ship from the darkness of the evil one into the light of His gospel John ; ; Acts The Lion appears for the final time in the last chapter of the book, where he emerges as a Lamb who feeds them the most delicious meal they have ever had, a foreshadowing of the marriage supper of the Lamb in Revelation These are just a few of the Christian themes in The Voyage Book 5) the Dawn Treader that provide plentiful opportunities for parents to teach biblical truths to their children in a beautiful setting of fantasy and adventure.

Coriakin encourages the crew to defeat the mist by gathering and laying the lords' seven swords at Aslan's Table on Ramandu's island, but warns they are all about to be tested. Lucy recites a beauty incantation she found, and enters a dream in which she is Susan, and neither Lucy nor Narnia exist. Aslan chides Lucy for her self-doubt, explaining that her siblings only know of Narnia because of her. At a third island, another sword is recovered from a magical pool that turns anything that touches it as it also did to one of the lost lords into gold. Meanwhile, Eustace discovers and steals from a rock pit full of treasure. While Edmund and Caspian look for Eustace, they discover the remains of another of the lords and recover his sword. A dragon approaches and is driven away from the Dawn Treader. The dragon is Eustace, transformed by The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile enchanted treasure after succumbing to its temptations. Reepicheep befriends The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile, and Eustace is touched by the mouse's kindness. He has a change of heart and becomes useful to the crew. The crew arrive at Aslan's Table to find three lost lords sleeping. As they place the swords on the table they realize one is still missing. A star descends from the sky and transforms into Lilliandila beautiful woman who guides them to the Dark Island, lair of the mist, where they discover the last surviving Lord. The island uses Edmund's fear to create a monstrous sea serpent that attacks the ship. Eustace fights the serpent, but the panicked lord wounds him with the last sword, causing him to fly away. He encounters Aslan, who transforms him back into a boy and sends him to Ramandu's island with the last sword. As the crew continues to fight the serpent, the mist tries to distract Edmund by appearing as Jadis, the White Witch. Eustace reaches the table, but the mist tries to stop him from putting the sword on the table with the others. Ultimately, he overcomes the mist and succeeds, allowing the swords to unleash their magic and bestow Edmund's own sword with the power to slay the sea serpent, the death of which awakens the three sleeping lords, destroys the mist and Dark Island and liberates the sacrificed slaves.

Eustace hears his mother announcing a visitor, . Richard TaylorIsis Mussenden, and Howard Berger continued their roles working on the production design and practical effects, while visual effects The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile Jim Rygielcomposer David Arnoldand cinematographer Dante Spinotti are newcomers Book 5) the series. Disney announced on December 24,that it would no longer co-produce the film. The Los Angeles Times also reported "creative differences" led to the split. It was announced in January that 20th Century Fox would replace Walt Disney Pictures as the distributor while Disney would still retain the rights for the first two. Fox had pursued the Narnia film rights in and distributed various other Walden projects. Producer Mark Johnson admitted that "we made some mistakes with Prince Caspian and I don't want to make them again". He said it was "very important" that filmmakers regain the magic for Dawn Treader. As a result, some elements The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile borrowed from The Silver Chairwhere Narnians are held hostage and rescued. The author's estate did not initially receive the change well, but Book 5) gained favor after review. Eustace has a greater role as a dragon in the film such as not only allowed to proceed with the ship to the next islands in that state, but also proves a valuable asset for the crew for the remainder of the voyage. This is so he could take a major part in the action and not merely do expedition work duty as in the book. The book's stream of consciousness description about Eustace gradually realizing that he had become a dragon while sleeping is effective as text, but it could not easily be translated onto film. Further, a noted passage from the book where Aslan peels Eustace's dragon skin off in layers is not used. Ernie Malik, a unit publicist for the film, confirmed [34] that filming began on July 27,on location in QueenslandAustralia. Apted stated that fellow directors Gore Verbinski and Peter Weir recommended him not to shoot on water, so they built a giant Dawn Treader on a gimbal at, which allowed it to rock and as if on the high seas. At the extreme end of the town's peninsula, jutting into Moreton Baythe tonne ton boat could be rotated through degrees to keep the sun angles consistent. There are 1, special effects shots that were made for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader[39] more than The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe 's and fewer The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the Chronicles of Narnia Facsimile Prince Caspian 's 1, shots. Angus Bickerton served as the lead visual effects supervisor of the film while Jim Rygielwho supervised the effects on The Lord of the Rings film trilogyworked as the senior visual effects supervisor. They say the dragon is "amongst the most heroic characters ever created, and is scheduled to be featured in around shots of the movie. Framestore also revised Aslanchanging his color palette to be a more realistic lion than a golden lion and adding a darker mane; they also created 16 different dufflepuds to replace Jonathan Fawkner and Angus Bickerton running around first as dufflepuds on the set; Book 5) Senate worked on the opening shot of King's College, Cambridgeas well as the star effect on Liliandil at Ramandu's Island; Cinesite worked on the Dark Island, and Fugitive Studios did the end titles and credits, which featured original drawings created by Pauline Baynes for the Narnia books. The filmmakers initially discussed shooting the film in 3D during principal photography but later decided to shoot in two-dimensional cameras to save on costs. Prime Focus Group was hired in June to convert the film to 3D during post-production. Film director Joe Dante remarked that Apted was at first skeptical about the conversion, stating "If I was gonna do a 3D movie, I would have done it differently. Dawn Treader was his first 3D film. Composer David Arnold scored the film, with themes composed by Harry Gregson-Williams who scored the first two films. Arnold worked with Paul Apted Book 5) editing the score, which he said was "going to be epic.

Franklin Graham 's Samaritan's Purse program promoted an international relief campaign entitled Operation Narnia to donate relief goods to children around the world from July to December The historic caravel ship the Matthew was transformed into a replica of The Dawn Treader to promote the film. National Geographic Channel and Fox conducted a series of contests in Europe for people who want to visit the ship for three days. IGN said that the film "was far more reminiscent of the vibrant and optimistic The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe than Book 5) its dark and violent sequel, Prince Caspian ". The first official trailer for the film was released online on June 17, The trailer was attached to the theatrical release of Toy Story 3 on June 18,and then attached to Alpha and Omega on September 17, An international poster and trailer for the film was shown on October 7, A third trailer was released November 9, Cable network Syfy screened Prince Caspian on December 12 and Harper published a new edition of The Chronicles of Narniacommemorating the 60th anniversary of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobeand released it the same day. Group Publishing released three previews from the film and included it in their vacation Bible school resource kit called Fun for the Whole Family Hour on August 19, Nihilistic Software and Disney Interactive Studios was supposed to develop a video game based on the film for XboxPlayStation 3and Wii when Disney was still involved in the project. But when Fox took over the production, Nihilistic sought out negotiations with Fox Digital Entertainment division. They failed to agree on a settlement, Book 5) resulted in the cancellation of the video game. It was the first time the Royal Film Performance was screened in Digital 3D and the second time a Narnia film premiered at the event, the first being The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Book 5) Fox later announced a December release date because it felt that Narnia will do better during the holidays. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was met with mixed reviews from critics. The consensus reads: "Its leisurely, businesslike pace won't win the franchise Book 5) new fans, but Voyage of the Dawn Treader restores some of the Narnia franchise's lost luster with strong performances and impressive special effects. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times praised the film and gave it three stars out of four, saying "This is a rip-snorting adventure fantasy for families, especially the younger members who are not insistent on continuity. They stated that the film "arrives with confidence and bravado intact. It also bodes well for the future of this once iffy franchise. Among them, The Arizona Republic 's Kerry Lengel said, "the best thing about the film is neither the top-notch CGI nor the shallow moral lessons but the performance of Georgie Henley as Lucy as well as the performance of her and Edmund's insufferable cousin Eustace Scrubb. Thompson from E! Online praised the performances, stating "Henley and Keynes are charming as ever, and Poulter's turn as Eustace injects a welcome note of comedic cynicism into the sea of sentimentality.
