Which book introduces Eustace Scrubb?

Eustace Scrubb is introduced in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. C. S. Lewis presents him at the novel’s opening as Edmund and Lucy Pevensie’s unpleasant cousin, beginning with the memorable description that he “almost deserved” his name.

Eustace initially dislikes anything connected with Narnia and considers himself rational, modern, and superior to the children’s stories. After Edmund and Lucy are drawn aboard King Caspian’s ship, Eustace is taken with them and becomes involved in the voyage across the Eastern Sea.

His most important storyline is a transformation in character. Eustace’s greed and selfishness lead him to become a dragon, and the experience forces him to confront the person he has become. Aslan helps restore him, but Eustace must accept the change inwardly as well as physically. He later becomes a loyal friend and a recurring hero.

The common mix-up is chronology: Eustace first appears in the third book published, but The Horse and His Boy and The Magician’s Nephew take place earlier in Narnian history. He later returns in The Silver Chair and The Last Battle.
