Summary

Gulliver’s adventure in Lilliput begins when he wakes after his shipwreck to find himself bound by innumerable tiny threads and addressed by tiny captors who are in awe of him but fiercely protective of their kingdom. They are not afraid to use violence against Gulliver, though their arrows are little more than pinpricks. But overall, they are hospitable, risking famine in their land by feeding Gulliver, who consumes more food than a thousand Lilliputians combined could. Gulliver is taken into the capital city by a vast wagon the Lilliputians have specially built. He is presented to the emperor, who is entertained by Gulliver, just as Gulliver is flattered by the attention of royalty.

    Princess Emma will do just about anything to get out of marrying the self centered  Prince Jorge. So when she meets a frog named Eadric who claims—of  course—to be a prince, she decides to give him a kiss and see what happens. Bad  idea. The frog stays a frog, and worse still, Emma turns into a frog herself. It turns out only the person who cast the spell can break it, so Emma and Eadric  are soon hopping along trying to find the witch who can make them human  again. This clever twist on the classic fairy tale is full of good-natured fun and romance.
