My favorite Narnia book, now even more favorite.

It has taken me this long to notice that "Dawn Treader" is a "-stapa" compound, so beloved of Anglo-Saxon poets. Grendel is a "march-treader", the Wanderer is an "land-treader", the stag is a "heath-treader", and this is the Dawn-Treader.

We were not made for endless “productivity”. Our foremothers used to sit on a cliff and snack on clams and occasionally lure a sailor to his death with their song.
