Gulliver's Travels!

KIDS STORIES
About this episode

We are back with this version of the first part of the epic that is Gulliver's Travels! Did you know that Gullivers Travels was written by an Irishman, and an Irish priest at that! Did you also know that it was first published all the way back in 1726?! That makes my head hurt! 
The story has been retold in various versions thousands upon thousands of times over the years, and remains a firm favourite with kids and adults alike.  It is a real favourite of mine because of the wonderous 6 inch high Lilliputians Gulliver encounters along with their teeny tiny cows- but you'll have to listen to the story to find out more!!
