The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is my second favorite Narnia book. It’s sheer delight with its depiction of an Odyssey-like island journey with many stops and many opportunities for adventure. Not to mention the trippy last chapters with the sun becoming larger and larger, the water sweeter and more shallow, until it blooms full of lotuses. Only the dull bit about the conflict with some slavers at the beginning mars its perfection (and that deserves another Pet Peeves post.)
In some other space and time, there were books like these.
