A Unique Bed from France

Detail: Bed

This unique bed was considered comfortable since the purpose of this bed was so anyone who sleeps on it can have variations on any directions they would like to lie down. When I read this part, I couldn't really picture a person being comfortable in the bed, but a person whose back is aching. The frame on this bed was carved out of wood and layered with gold using the technique of gilding. Before I read anything about this bed, I was thinking, Isn't this just a chair with pillows?  ......I guess I was wrong.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

By C.S. Lewis

# of pages: 248

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis is a very interesting book, like the Magician's Nephew. It tells about the adventure of Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace when they supposedly enter a picture of a boat. It's just really great how Eustace starts to adapt to the journey with King Caspian because he never knew about Narnia.
