SWIFT, JONATHAN.
Gulliver's Travels.
Educational. .40
His voyage to Lilliput, his stay with the little people, and his
adventures later among the giants of Brobdingnag, are classic. Written
as a political satire, the narrative has served a gentler purpose than
its original one. The littleness of the Lilliputians and the greatness
of the giants appeal strongly to children.
And lo! the book from all its end beguiled,
A harmless wonder to some happy child.

In that forest to and fro
I can wander, I can go;
See the spider and the fly,
And the ants go marching by
Carrying parcels with their feet
Down the green and grassy street.
STEVENSON.
