Jonathan Swift's Gulliver

144 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-2409-8 $19.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Chris Riddell. Horizontal in design, this smooth abridgment of Swift's classic excises some of his crasser references and softens the satire, making it accessible to a younger audience. The abundant paintings and black-and-white drawings resembling etchings perfectly capture the absurdity of characters and situations. If the younger set does need Swift, this generous and affectionate introduction to Gulliver's Travels is a fine choice.
