Voyage Of The Dawn Treader, The (Bk 5 Of Chronicles Of Narnia

Description: For the first time, an edition of Lewis's classic fantasy fiction packaged specifically for adults.

In an epic continuation of the saga, Edmund and Lucy and their irksome cousin Eustace are returned to Narnia as their friend Caspian is about to chart a sea voyage to the end of the world. As their journey takes them into uncharted waters, the young heroes learn that pirates, dragons and monsters are not only real but very, very dangerous.

The second film is already in development. Sporting breathtaking new photographic covers, these new adult editions of the seven Chronicles of Narnia now give everyone an opportunity to experience the adventures in their original form.

Lewis's parallel universe never fades.' The Times 'When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness.' C S Lewis Author Biography: Clive Staples Lewis, born in 1898, wrote many books for adults, though the science fiction Cosmic Trilogy and the Narnia septet were his only works of fiction. The final title, The Last Battle, published in 1956, won the Carnegie Award, the highest mark of excellence in children's literature.
