Summaries

A doctor washes ashore on an island inhabited by little people.

Gulliver washes ashore on Lilliput and attempts to prevent war between that tiny kingdom and its equally minuscule rival, Blefuscu, as well as smooth the way for the romance between the Princess and Prince of the opposing lands. In this he is alternately aided and hampered by the Lilliputian town crier and general fussbudget, Gabby. A life-threatening situation develops when the bumbling trio of Blefuscu spies, Sneak, Snoop, and Snitch, manage to steal Gulliver's pistol.—Paul Penna <[email protected]>

On November 5, 1699, Lemuel Gulliver reaches the shore of the Kingdom of Lilliput. The kingdom is inhabited by tiny human beings. At about the same time, King Little of Lilliput and King Bombo of Blefuscu sign a wedding contract. In a marriage of state, Princess Glory of Lilliput is set to marry her beloved Prince David of Blefuscu. The two kings briefly discuss the details of the wedding ceremony. They disagree on whether to use the national anthem of Lilliput ("Faithful") or the national anthem of Blefuscu ("Forever") as the wedding song. Bombo impulsively declares war, and then plants a trio of spies on Lilliput. Gulliver agrees to protect Lilliput, but seeks a way to end the war before the bloodshed begins.—Dimos I
