New York Review Children's Collection series.
Illustrated by
Fritz Eichenberg.
Orphaned Maria discovers a colony of six-inch-high people descended from Lilliputians and must thwart her governess and guardian's attempts to capture and exploit them. The action is shot through with humor, and the Lilliputians are characters not soon forgotten. This reissue of the classic includes the illustrations from the original edition.
