The Voyage of the Dawn Treader[a] is a portal fantasy novel for children written by C. S. Lewis, published by Geoffrey Bles in 1952. It was the third published of seven novels in The Chronicles of Narnia (1950–1956). Macmillan US published an American edition within the calendar year,[1][3] with substantial revisions which were retained in the United States until 1994. It is volume five in recent editions, which are sequenced according to the novels' internal chronology. Like the other Chronicles of Narnia, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was illustrated by Pauline Baynes, and her work has been retained in many later editions.[1][3]
In the novel, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie (along with their cousin Eustace Scrubb) are taken out of this world into the enchanted land of Narnia. They are reunited with the Pevensies' friend, King Caspian X of Narnia, aboard Caspian's ship, the Dawn Treader. Caspian has vowed to sail east across the Great Eastern Ocean for a year and a day to find the seven lost Lords of Narnia.
Lewis dedicated the book to Geoffrey Corbett,[5] who later changed his name to Jeffrey Barfield and is the adopted son of Owen Barfield, a friend of Lewis's.[6]
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has been adapted and recorded as four episodes of a BBC television series in 1989 and as a feature film in 2010.
