Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Mere C.S. Lewis
About this episode

Thornton sets sail for the Eastern Seas to explore one of the most beloved—and perhaps most searching—of the Chronicles: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Joined by author Katherine Langrish (From Spare Oom to War Drobe), we dive deep into a story that is less a military campaign and more a spiritual pilgrimage.

Together they discuss:

  • Personal Memories of Dawn Treader

  • Lewis’s layered storytelling and moral imagination

  • Aslan's character across the Narnia series

  • The thematic depths across Narnia

🍵 Featured Tea: Voyage of the Dawn Treader Blend

Set sail with a luminous white tea blend inspired by the Eastern Sea. Notes of white peony, white peach, eternal spring, and orange peel create a bright, hopeful cup—like dawn breaking over Aslan’s Country.

You can find the tea at this link.: Adagio Teas: My Signature Blends
