Also, decorative headers, tailpieces, partial-page imagery, and pictorial endpapers by Rackham throughout. A classic, savage satire of mankind and beloved by children for its imaginative fantasy. Gulliver’s Travels (otherwise titled Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of several Ships) is a novel by Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift.
