| The longest, funniest, and most complex in plot of the classic Narnia series. Probably best to read this after 'Lion, Witch, Wardrobe' and 'Prince Caspian', and before 'The Silver Chair' and 'The Last Battle'.
Lucy and Edmund accidentally drag their obnoxious cousin Eustace Scrubb into a sea borne voyage of adventure, discovery, and growing up. Dragons, dwarves, slavery, sea monsters, and the Edge of the World. And back. | ||
