About this title

From the Inside Flap

(back cover)
". . . the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth."

When Lemuel Gulliver is washed up on the distant shore of Lilliput, he becomes a giant among men. As his travels continue, Gulliver is dwarfed by the people of Brobdingnag and bewildered by the customs of the Laputians. Will Gulliver find the humanity he seeks in the Land of the Talking Horses?

Jonathan Swift's timeless story is vividly and faithfully retold in graphic novel format.

(front flap)
". . . how diminutive, contemptible, and helpless an animal was man in his own nature . . ."

Shipwrecked voyager Gulliver is cast ashore among the tiny Lilliputians, where he appears as a giant among them. Another voyage takes him to the land of the giant Brobdingnags, where by comparison he is a tiny creature. But on his journey to the Country of the Houyhnhnms, he meets talking horses who demonstrate to Gulliver that humans--whom they call Yahoos--are the most disgraceful of all beings.
