The voyages of an eighteenth-century Englishman carry him to such strange places as Lilliput, where people are six inches tall, and Brobdingnag, a land peopled by giants.

Presents a collection of essays analyzing Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's travels, including a chronology of the author's works and life.

"The author of these Travels, Mr. Lemuel Gulliver, is my ancient and intimate friend; there is likewise some relation between us on the mother's side. About three years ago, Mr. Gulliver growing weary of the concourse of curious people coming to him at his house in Redriff, made a small purchase of land, with a convenient house, near Newark, in Nottinghamshire, his native country; where he now lives retired, yet in good esteem among his neighbours." "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift is a brilliant political satire and a classic of world literature.

Draws on discoveries made in the past three decades to paint a new portrait of the satirist, speculating on his parentage, love life, and relationships while claiming that the public image he projected was intentionally misleading.

Designed for younger readers of the classics, Gulliver's Stories is based on Jonathan Swift's Gulliver Travels, the hilarious and incredible adventures of a man who finds himself first as a feared giant in the world of tiny people of Lilliput, and then as a man of minuscule proportions in a country full of giants.
