Description: Gulliver Joi, leaves home seeking adventure and finds more than he bargained for at the hands of an inventor who sends him to the planet Kailoo in a space ship. On Kailoo, he meets and falls in love with Martha, but must travel in a lighter-than-air bubble to the planet of giants, Hydrogenia, to rescue her when she is kidnapped. They escape back to Kailoo and then travel to New York but their happy married life is interrupted by a storm on the Atlantic Ocean that washes Gulliver up on the shore of the land of Ejario. His adventures in Ejario result in the restoration of the rightful king who had been ousted from his throne by a group of women. Eventually Gulliver returns to his home where he vows to resettle his family on Kailoo and start a newspaper.
