The original publisher's light blue cloth is well-preserved, remaining firm and bright with unoxidised silver gilt lettering to the spine, showing only minor pushing and a touch of sunning to the spine extremities. The binding is remarkably tight and square, supporting a text block that is generally very clean. The page edges show a hint of mild toning and faint dust-soiling to the top edge, though the internal pages and Pauline Baynes's delightful map endpapers are wonderfully bright, fresh, and free from any previous ownership inscriptions. The unclipped dust jacket (retaining the original 12s 6d net price) presents nicely, exhibiting some light shelf-wear, minor chipping to the head of the spine, and gentle rubbing to the corners, alongside some faint dust-soiling to the rear panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is an early and highly desirable fifth impression of C. S. Lewis's celebrated children's fantasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume is beautifully illustrated throughout with black-and-white line drawings by Pauline Baynes, whose iconic artistic style has become inextricably linked with the world of Narnia. Her work includes the magnificent double-page map endpapers, detailing 'The Seven Isles' and the 'Eastern Ocean', and the charming 'Plan of the Dawn Treader' frontispiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly mid-century impressions retaining their original dust jackets are becoming increasingly scarce. They remain highly sought after by collectors seeking the quintessential mid-century aesthetic of Lewis's masterpieces without the prohibitive cost of a true first printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third book in the chronicles of Narnia, \u003ci\u003eThe Voyage of the Dawn Treader\u003c\/i\u003e reunites Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, who, along with their thoroughly dreadful cousin Eustace Scrubb, find themselves magically pulled into a maritime painting. They are rescued by King Caspian and the noble mouse Reepicheep aboard the magnificent ship, the Dawn Treader. Their quest takes them across uncharted eastern seas, encountering dragons, invisible Dufflepuds, and mystical islands, as they sail toward the very edge of the world to find the seven lost lords of Narnia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54438893683027,"sku":"4833","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260723_230827.jpg?v=1785405410","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-voyage-of-the-dawn-treader-c-s-lewis-5th-impression","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
