From the Publisher:
First published in 1726, Jonathan Swift's classic adventure story has long been a favorite with adults and children alike. This magnificent edition contains all of Gulliver's extraordinary voyages. Travel to Lilliput, land of the small, and Brobdingnag, land of giants; to Laputa, where inhabitants need to be hit on the head with sticks to remind them to talk; to Glubbdubdrib, island of ghosts and magicians; and finally, to the kingdom of the Houyhnhnms, where horses rule over humans.

Award-winning author Martin Jenkins has skillfully abridged the original novel, remaining true to its tone and humor while making it accessible to younger readers. He is brilliantly assisted by Kate Greenaway Medalist Chris Riddell, who brings to life the people, creatures, and kingdoms of Swift's searing imagination in wonderful panoramic detail. A tour de force of illustration and design, this is a peerless introduction to one of the most popular stories in the English language.

About the Author:
Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) is regarded as the foremost prose satirist in the English language. Martin Jenkins is a conservation biologist by trade and has written numerous children's books about the natural world. His book about penguins, Emperor's Egg, won the Times Educational Supplement Information Book Award. Chris Riddell is an award-winning author, illustrator and political cartoonist for The Observer. He has won the Kate Greenaway Medal twice, once for Gulliver's Travel's, and the Smarties Prize. He lives in Brighton.
