First he discovers the kingdom of the small people of Lilliput, whose height make their petty quarrels seem ridiculous.

Short and precise

Very well edited, getting a 10+ hour read shortened to just over an hour’s read!

Not what i was expecting.

The story was not what I was expecting, alot different than the movies and popular culture

A classic well-read

Yes it’s an abridged version. But life is short and the amount of content worth reading or listening to is almost endless.

A real sea going adventure!

Excellent retelling of the classic story, that draws you in, like you are there. The narrator creates vivid pictures in your mind of where he is and what is happening. Easy to hear and understand. Suitable for all ages.

Glad I listened

First time I "read" the story even though I've watched the movie. The first person narration was a cut and dry account of the Englishman's adventures in the other lands. I liked it.
