Golden Book (Hardcover with st. Etat : Fair. No Jacket. Gulliver's Travels by "Dean Swift" (1896? Hardcover without Dust Jacket) Gulliver's Travels (1726) was a satirical "account" of world exploration & discoveries of the 17th century written by Jonathan Swift. Jonathan Swift (1663-1745) was an Anglo-Irish writer and an Anglican cleric. He became the dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral of Dublin in 1713. Thus, he was often referred to as Dean Swift, especially when analyzing a piece of his satire written in the deadpan ironic style he favored. The original Gulliver's Travels was far from a children's book and quite risque. However, it was funny and became (when appropriately abridged) a children's classic in 19th century and beyond.
