Description

A new episode from the series "The Chronicles of Narnia", originally written by C.S. Lewis. Having sold over 100 million copies in 47 languages, it is now adapted to the cinema. These stories, based on Christian themes, use characters from Greek mythology as well as from traditional British and Irish fairy tales, making out quite an awesome mixture of fantasy and moral teachings which has proved quite appealling all over the world.


This is the third episode in a series of seven. The Voyage of the ‘Dawn Treader’ returns Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their priggish cousin, Eustace Scrubb, to Narnia. Once there, they join Caspian's voyage on the ship Dawn Treader to find the seven lords who were banished when Miraz took over the throne. This perilous journey brings them face to face with many wonders and dangers as they sail toward Aslan's country at the end of the world.
