So interesting, with ,in a way, satirical of life in 18th century England. As fantastical as it is instead of sending meaningles natter on imaginary things it sends strong social messages on religion, inequality, humanism and ethics. The illustrations add so much to the experience. Riddell is a talented author/illustrator/artist.

Award-winning author Martin Jenkins has skilfully adapted the original novel, remaining true to its tone and humour while making it accessible to younger readers. In this, he is brilliantly assisted by Kate Greenaway Medallist Chris Riddell, who brings to life the people, creatures and kingdoms of Swift's searing imagination in wonderful panoramic detail.
