A ten-year-old girl finds Lilliputians living in her garden in T. H. White's classic of children's literature

Maria is the orphan mistress of a crumbling manor four times as long as Buckingham Palace. Her grounds are so vast and overgrown that Maria is already ten years old before she discovers that a community of Lilliputians live on her land - the proud but tiny people whom Gulliver met on his famous travels.

To keep their secret safe, Maria must outsmart her vile Governess and the greedy Vicar as they plot to steal her inheritance. Fortunately, Maria has a few tricks up her sleeve, and an entire army in her pocket.

Includes exclusive content- In the 'Backstory' you can take the Mistress Masham quiz and find out why this is Anne Fine's favourite book.
