Publisher's summary

The unabridged digital audio edition of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, book five in the classic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia, narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Derek Jacobi.

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

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the fifth book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, a series that has been drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over sixty years. This is a novel that stands on its own, but if you would like to continue to the journey, check out The Silver Chair, the sixth book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

a grand adventure

This is almost my favorite of the Narnia books. I love the episodic nature of the story as they travel from island to island, and the utterly different perils they face on each. The Lucy - Edmond - Eustace - Caspian combination is excellent. Eustace is quite annoying for the first third of the book, but he's redeemable.

Jacobi is an EXCELLENT reader of this tale. I only regret that he chose such a shrill voice for Reepicheep-- almost made my eyes water!

I highly recommend this book and this recording.

Love C.S. Lewis and the Chronicles

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, all the stories are great for both young and old. They are humorous and full of life and imagination.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Eustace - He is so mean and nasty to start and changes throughout the story as he gets some real life lessons.

What does Derek Jacobi bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

A great accent and just the right way of saying the humorous lines that C.S. Lewis puts in the story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Eustace turns into a dragon. Poor fellow, we weren't sure if he would get out of that fix.

Any additional comments?

You will love to listen to this series over and over.

Better than a cruise ship.

Traveling to the end of the world, what an adventure. I loved the descriptions of the islands and the adventures that the children were a part of.

points off for Audible editing

there are breif musical interludes where a CD ends/begins. Audible should have been able to edit these out, as it just distracts from the listening experience. Also, each "chapter" is a CD, which makes navigating back difficult unless you set a bookmark.
