Gulliver's Travels

When a kindly ship's surgeon, Lemuel Gulliver, sets sail on several voyages from England, he has no idea of the fantastic adventures—and misadventures—he will have. Violent storms, shipwrecks, mutiny, and pirate attacks lead him to remote places populated by strange and amazing beings.

During his travels, Gulliver discovers that these incredible creatures are very different from anyone he has met before. He soon wonders whether he'll fit in or feel at home in any of these astonishing places.

Join Gulliver in Lilliput, where he finds himself held captive by a race of miniature people; in Brobdingnag, a country populated by giants; in the little island of Glubbdundrib, where historic figures like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar talk to him; and in an unknown land that's ruled by the Houyhnhnms, a breed of superior horses who find humanlike creatures repulsive. By turns funny and frightening, Gulliver's Travels will introduce you to some of the most outlandish and memorable creature ever invented.

This handsome edition of Gulliver's Travels, with charming illustrations made especially for the book by Scott McKowen, is sure to find a treasured place in your family's library. Book club questions by noted educator Arthur Pober, EdD, further enhance the reading experience.
