Summary

The first adventure of Jonathan Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels', the voyage to Lilliput, is illustrated by Children's Laureate Chris Riddell in brilliant, panoramic detail. His pictures complement Martin Jenkins' skilful retelling which is witty and accessible while remaining faithful to the darkly comic tone of Swift, arguably the foremost prose satirist in the English language.
