LEWIS, C.S. - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - [Chronicles of Narnia # 3] - (Hardcover in Wrapper)

Book did belong to a library before and has their usual nasty goodies inside - Wrapper has a bit as big as as a fingernail missing from the front bottom  >>>   C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the greatest 20th century writers whose books for children and adults have become best-sellers.    >>>   Two English children, Lucy and Edmund, are off again on another fantastic adventure--this time aboard King Caspian's ship. They are reunited with the swashbuckling mouse, Reepicheep; the dwarf, Trumpkin; and many other friends from previous trips to Narnia. With their peevish cousin Eustace accompanying them, they sail through transparent seas, past islands where bad dreams come true, to a land inhabited by comic little Monopods, and just escape being destroyed by a strange sea monster. This is Eustace's first trip to Narnia, and his selfish behavior and skepticism about magic causes him to be temporarily transformed into a green dragon. But all turns out well when they reach the End of the World--and even Eustace becomes a loyal patriot of Narnia.   -   The imaginative land of Narnia has become a real country to many young readers. Pauline Baynes'  beautiful line drawings capture the magic seas and fantastic islands.
