Who wrote the Narnian adventure novel The Voyage of the Dawn Treader?

C.S. Lewis wrote The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Published in 1952, it is the third book in the original publication sequence of The Chronicles of Narnia.

The novel follows Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, joined by their cousin Eustace Scrubb, as they travel aboard King Caspian’s ship, the Dawn Treader. Their voyage takes them through several islands and encounters, including the transformation of Eustace after his greed and self-centeredness lead him into trouble.

The title is sometimes confused with The Silver Chair because both books feature journeys beyond familiar parts of Narnia. The author is also sometimes mixed up with J.R.R. Tolkien, Lewis’s friend and fellow Oxford academic. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings; Lewis wrote the seven Narnia books, including this sea voyage.
