Publisher Description

An orphan discovers the secret world of Gulliver’s Travels in this kids classic from the author of The Once and Future King—for readers ages 9-12.

“One of the finest, most magical and extraordinary children’s books ever written.” — Anne Fine, Children’s Laureate of Britain

Ten-year-old Maria, the orphaned mistress of Malplaquet, discovers the secret of her deteriorating estate . . . On a deserted island, in the temple nicknamed Mistress Masham’s Repose, live the community “The People” —all only inches tall. With the help of her only friend—the absurdly erudite Professor—Maria soon learns this settlement is no less than the exiled kingdom of Lilliput first seen in Gulliver’s Travels.
 
Safely hidden for centuries, the Lilliputians are at first endangered by Maria’s well-meaning but clumsy attempts to make their lives easier—but their situation grows ominous when they are discovered by Maria’s greedy guardians, who look at The People and see only a bundle of money.
 
Hailed as “one of the finest, most magical and extraordinary children’s books ever written” (Anne Fine, Children’s Laureate of Britain), Mistress Masham’s Repose has enchanted young readers for over 7 decades.
