THE classic tale of Gulliver and his exciting journeys to Lilliput and Brobdingnag is the latest book in the Grimsby Telegraph's Children's Classics series.

As reported, the Telegraph has joined forces with the Grimsby Institute of Further and Higher Education and Lincolnshire Regional College to launch the fantastic book promotion.

Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift, tells the story of Lemuel Gulliver who sets sail knowing little of the adventures that await him.

His first voyage takes him to Lilliput, the land of the little people where the residents are just six inches tall.

The traveller then ventures into the very different land of Brobdingnag, where giants rule.

Eventually Gulliver is abandoned by his crew on an unknown island home to rational thinking horses called Houyhnhnms who rule over savage human-like creatures called Yahoos.

Gulliver discovers what it is like to be both giant and dwarf in this enchanting tale.

To find out what Havelock School pupil Lauren Bruce thought of the book, see today's Grimsby Telegraph.

The voucher you need to pick up your copy of Gulliver's Travels for just £2.99 will be printed in tomorrow's Grimsby Telegraph.

Look out for next Tuesday's token for the last of the book in the series, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.
