Her evil vicar guardian and a governess called Miss Brown want to exhibit the creatures, perhaps take them to Hollywood, its up to her and an absent minded professor to stop them...

Reader's ReviewsEdit

1Edit

An ideal style for children, with a meandering narrative. Brings out the well known story of Gulliver's Travels. Recommended for any age though. Longtimeago (talk) 09:37, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
