  • For Lucy and Edmund, having to spend the summer holidays with their odious cousin Eustace was the pits.  They were gazing dejectedly at the picture of the ship with the dragon prow when - the ship began to gently rock and the wind began to blow.  The frame disappeared and the three children were hurled into the waves.
