Amazon.com Review:
The BBC Radio production of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a delightful two-hour sail on the most fabulous ship in Narnia. Lucy and Edmund, with their dreadful cousin Eustace, get magically pulled into a painting of a ship at sea. That ship is the Dawn Treader, and on board is Caspian, King of Narnia. He and his companions, including Reepicheep, the valiant warrior mouse, are searching for seven lost lords of Narnia, and their voyage will take them to the edge of the world. Their adventures include being captured by slave traders, a much-too-close encounter with a dragon, and visits to many enchanted islands, including the place where dreams come true. The adaptation is faithful to its source, C.S. Lewis's series of Narnia books, which have provided exciting and uplifting tales for generations of children. BBC Radio does wonders with sound effects--the ship creaks in the wind, the sorrowful dragon roars lugubriously--and musical cues and interludes that keep the pacing dynamic. There's also a splendid cast of plummy British voices, making this far more than a book read onto cassette--it's an audio drama, as enjoyable as a trip to the theater. Grownups who buy this tape for their children will want to borrow it for themselves. (Running time: two hours, two cassettes) --Blaise Selby

- Where the sky and water meet, where the waves grow sweet
I'm not usually one for seafaring tales of any kind, but THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER is an exceptional tale, and the seafaring factor is only one small part of this multi-faceted story.

The time difference of our world and Narnia is a very strange thing indeed. For instance, when the four Pevensie siblings returned to Narnia in PRINCE CASPIAN, only one year had passed in our (or their) world, and over a thousand years had passed in Narnia. But in VOYAGE, Edmund and Lucy return to Narnia with not much of a time difference from their own world.

The story revolves around Prince Caspian and crew searching for the seven lost lords exiled years before by Caspian's evil uncle from Narnia to find their doom at sea. An addendum to the quest is to find Aslan's Country ... Read More

- A great adventure book
The book I read was The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, by: C.S. Lewis. This book is fantasy because it probably won't happen because there are talking animals.
This book was about Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace falling into a picture to get into Narnia. They fell into the ocean and got in a ship with Prince Caspian. They went to the 7 islands to save the Lords that Caspians dad sent away. When they got to the last island there were 3 Lords there frozen and they had to go to the Worlds End to free them.
This book The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was a good book, but got boring at places. It was a good book because it took you to a made-up world. This book would be good for 5th-7th graders.

- Narnia at its most enchanting yet
The episodic format of "Dawn Treader" and the variety of adventures that come in tow of its great quest at sea are a better format for C.S. Lewis' appealingly simple, wide-eyed prose than the first two novels. Indeed, it's difficult to argue for there being a greater quest for Lewis' young protagonists than the by turns metaphysical, Homeric/Dantean, and of course, religious journey that explicitly connects the fantastical outer islands of greater Narnia.

Lewis skillfully navigates the character's understanding of an endpoint--The Very End of the World, Aslan's Country, after the last sea of silent, sustaining lilies--and the process, the continuance, that also affords their adventures (save that of Reepicheep). The individual chapters read well as serials, each with their unique ... Read More

- Astounding performance by Derek Jacobi.
This is not particularly a review of The Voyage of The Dawn Treader plot or story line. Plot synopsis of this book can be found in many other places. My purpose here is to review this audio version.
I am in the process of reading The Chronicles Of Narnia to my children, we are immensely enjoying the experience.
Recently I started to read this to my kids at bedtime. We were enjoying it, but it seemed to be taking a long time to finish. A fairly lengthy car journey was coming up so I decided to get the audio version read by Derek Jacobi. I thought I had been doing a pretty good job of reading this book aloud, until that is I heard Mr Jacobi's version. His narration is absolutely perfect. The changes in voice, tenor, pitch and accent were so seamless and convincing that it really was ... Read More

- Great voyage
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the story of the two youngest Pevensie children and their very obnoxious cousin on their return to Narnia. Caspian, now King, had sailed to find the seven lords that his father sent on an adventure but had never come back. The children joined him and the Knight Reepicheep, who is a talking mouse, on the ship The Dawn Treader to new adventures. From the discovery of new lands and their perils, slavery, new species and the truth of what happened to the lords... this book will keep you entranced and open your imagination to the outer most places. Great for anyone who enjoys traveling through CS Lewis' imagination.
