Gulliver's Travels (Unabridged Classics)

2 reviews
Jonathan Swift

Sterling, 2007

Nice Affordable Edition of this Classic Work
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is classic work of satire and adventure that hardly needs my recommendation. Instead, let me comment on this edition published by Sterling. It's a nice hardcover with dustjacket and placeholder ribbon. There are a number of illustrations by Scott McKowen and an afterword by Arthur Pober. If you're looking for a inexpensive, but nice edition of Gulliver's ...

Jonathan Swift

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003

Beautiful Edition
There is no need for me to go into what a marvelous and timeless classic "Guliver's Travels" is. The satire, while nearly 300 hundred years old, is as fresh today as it was in the 1720s. What I will say about this particular edition is that it is very beautifully done. (If you can get the hardcover edition instead of the softcover, all the better.) The typeset, color engravings and supplemental ...

Classic Starts: Gulliver's Travels (Classic Starts Series)
Jonathan Swift

Sterling, 2006

Through the eyes of Lemuel Gulliver, Swift?s unforgettable satire takes readers into worlds formerly unimagined. Visit four strange and remarkable lands: Lilliput, where Gulliver seems a giant among a race of tiny people; Brobdingnag, the opposite, where the natives are giants and Gulliver puny; the ruined yet magical country of Laputa; and the home of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses far superior to the ugly humanoid Yahoos who share their ...

A Break with Charity: A Story about the Salem Witch Trials

Ann Rinaldi

Gulliver Books Paperbacks, 2003

The best historical fiction I've read in a while!
"A Break With Charity" is definitely a historical fiction I would recommend to anyone interested in the Salem Witch Trials. When I studied the Salem Witch Trials in school, not much was covered, so I was curious to learn more. Learning about this historical event in a history textbook isn't enough, as can be said about any other historical event. Taught through the eyes of a witness and ...

Jonathan Swift

Penguin Classics, 2003

Gulliver's Travel is the greatest satire in the English language
Satire is a staple of comedy shows on cable tv. However, the greatest satirist of the English language is not to be found in hilarious monologues on television. His name is Jonathan Swift. Swift was an Irish born bishop from Dublin who lived from 1667 to 1775. In his greatest piece of fiction "Gulliver's Travels" we see him as he punctures human prejudice, hatred, warfare and petty political ...

Sweet bedtime reading for toddlers
We recently bought this book for our 15-month old and he loves it. The illustrations are lovely, the narrative is sweet and melodic, and it is short enough to be a book that holds his attention start to finish even when he is tired. A lovely find!

Mary Ann Hoberman

Gulliver Books, 1997

Our favorite book!
This book has brilliant illustrations and my children love the cadence of the rhyming in the book. It is a very clever story - and the theme of picky eaters is one that resonates with every Mom I know. We have brought it to school to read to the classes and have given it as gifts to many friends. It's our favorite book. Highly recommended!

Gulliver Books, 2002

I have some weird friends too.
Did you know that the cattle egret can ride on the back of a rhino to warn it of stalking predators? Or that a particular red ant supplies food to a caterpillar in exchange for its honeydew that they, in turn, eat? I never did either, till I read through this cute, educational book by Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey. Friendship is a common theme among children, so playing up the camaraderie of ...

Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star Review
REVIEWED BY: Wayne Walker This book is about the Ethiopian famine of the 1980s. Jane Kurtz grew up in a remote village in the southwest corner of Ethiopia, although her biography does not say whether her family's being there was as missionaries, diplomats, military, charitable, Peace Corps, or what. Until 1974, people of various ethnic and religious groups, including Orthodox, Jewish, ...
