Gulliver's Travels

I've read this book at different times in my life. First as a child where I was transported by Gulliver’s travels to weird and wonderful far-off lands like Lilliput - where the inhabitants are just six inches high, and Gulliver becomes a giant, and Brobdingnag which is a land of giants and where Gulliver is like an ant. For a child it is a wonderful travel fantasy full of shipwrecks, and strange customs.

Later I read it at college and there it became a darker read, full of satire, politics, and scientific discoveries. It’s wildly imaginative and is a rattling good read – which is why it has inspired so many film versions. It’s said to have inspired 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell.
I’d recommend this as a great book that the whole family could enjoy. It’s like watching 'The Simpsons' – there is something there for every age.
