Imagining\u003cbr\u003ethese in pictures was my main focus in the demanding task of illustrating the\u003cbr\u003ewritings of Jonathan Swift. Swift was writing three hundred years ago, so for\u003cbr\u003ehis Gulliver's Travels\u003ci\u003e to meet the needs of a modern reader, \u003cbr\u003eparts of his book have been adapted, and then illustrated to help the\u003cbr\u003eadventures spring to life.
