Reepicheep


Quin Hillyer:

Mostly, though, Reepicheep feels a destiny, a destiny to find Aslan's country beyond the sea, whatever the risk and whatever the cost. The movie made mincemeat of the verse, but the book explains that a dryad nursing him in his crib had recited to him the following prophecy:

Where sky and water meet
Where the waves grow sweet
Doubt not, Reepicheep,
To find all you seek:
There is the utter East.


I have not seen the new film version of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, but I know I will.
