Jonathan Swift

Following Sterling's spectacularly successful launch of its children's classic novels (240,000 books in print to date),comes a dazzling new series: Classic Starts. The stories have been rewritten for younger audiences. Classic Starts treats the world's beloved tales (and children) with the respect they deserve.
In Gulliver's Travels, Audiobook on CD, by Jonathan Swift and narrator Rebecca K. Reynolds, this classic story has been rewritten specifically with a younger audience in mind. The story is written through the eyes of Lemuel Gulliver, which takes you on a journey to four obscure and sensational lands. Lilliput, where Gulliver seems a giant among a race of tiny people; Brobdingnag, where the natives are giant, and Gulliver is small; Laputa, the ruined yet magical country, home of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses that are worthier than the ugly humanoid Yahoos who share their universe. Audiobook in Compact Disc format.
