Changes

I first read this book as a ten year old. At the time I was aware of Lilliputians, but I had never read Gulliver's Travels. Instead, I enjoyed the details of the tiny gifts Maria attempts to give the People, and the huge gifts they try to give her, and the adventure aspects. Reading it as an adult, I enjoyed the historical jokes, the Professor's cogitations on the different lands that Gulliver visits, and the subtle horribleness of Miss Brown. I am sure that it can still be enjoyed as a pure adventure story by children, without the need for any detailed background knowledge Gulliver's Travels.
