Gulliver's Travels (DK Classics)

On one level, Gulliver's Travels is a story of amazing adventures set in a series of magical worlds; but just beneath the surface is a very different but equally exciting book-a witty satire on humankind's failings and foibles. In this adaptation of Jonathan Swift's original text, retold by James Dunbar with illustrations by Martin Hargreaves, young readers can discover the layers of this beloved book, and find out how it relates to the author's life and times-and their own. Dorling Kindersley Classics presents classic works of literature, richly retold. Additional information on period, setting, and author adds depth to these retellings. The beautiful illustrations are complemented by new photography, prints, diagrams, maps, and other documents.
