The two younger Pevensie children, Edmund and Lucy, are staying with their dreadful cousin Eustace for a few weeks. Things look up, though, when they're all pulled into a painting and find themselves in Narnia again. Three [Narnian] years have passed since their last visit, and they join Prince Caspian as he embarks on the Dawn Treader to find seven lost lords of Narnia and the end of the world. Along the way, they have numerous quests, to include run-ins with slave traders, invisible beings, a dragon, water that turns everything in it to gold, and a land where all dreams (good and bad) come true. Can they make it to the end of the world in one piece? And if they do, what will they find there?
I enjoyed this well enough. It had echoes of the Arthurian tales (the constant quests involving the fantastic with an ultimate moral lesson behind them). We see Aslan changing more hearts- Eustace being the prime example- and other good lessons herein. It's worth your time.
