Gulliver's Travels (A Robert Ingpen Illustrated Classic)

A full-color illustrated edition of one of the world's best loved stories, Gulliver’s Travels, illustrated by world-renowned illustrator Robert Ingpen.

“Ingpen's drawings are utterly compelling”—Michael Morpurgo

When Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, sets off on the high seas in search of adventure, things never seem to go quite according to plan. Through a series of disasters and misadventures, he finds himself cast upon strange islands whose inhabitants are of the most unusual size, and the most confusing philosophies.

Gulliver's Travels has been loved by many generations of readers for almost 300 years, and the telling of the misfortunes and pleasures of its eponymous hero is one of Jonathan Swift's most enduring legacies.

The perfect gift for a curious mind. Share your beloved childhood stories with the next generation!

From the Illustrator’s Note:

I found it a challenge to depict the events of Gulliver’s voyages, as he is often either too big or too small for his surroundings. Imagining these in pictures was my main focus in the demanding task of illustrating the writings of Jonathan Swift. Swift was writing three hundred years ago, so for his Gulliver’s Travels to meet the needs of a modern reader, parts of his book have been adapted, and then illustrated to help the adventures spring to life. This is what we have fondly attempted to do in this new edition of the enduring story.
