Swift was born on November 30, 1667, in Dublin, Ireland. His parents, who were natives of England living in Ireland, sent him to the Kilkenny Grammar School and then to Trinity College in Dublin, where he took his Bachelér of Arts degree. Upon his graduation from Trinity College, he was ap- pointed private secretary to one of England’s outstand- ing statesmen of the day, Sir William Temple, to {whom he was distantly re lated. It was during these years that he met Esther Johnson, the woman who, as “Stella”, was destined to jplay an important role in ibis life and in’ his writings. Some biographers believe he was secretly married to her, In 1659, Swift was ordained Doctor of Divinity in the Church of England. In 1699, leaving the employ of Sir William Temple, he took the post of secretary of chaplain to the Lord Deputy Berkeley in Ireland. The remainder of his life was devoted to active and frequently violem Participation in the religious and political issues then confronting England and Ireland. In 1701, he went to England, where he plunged into the feud raging between the Whig and Tory parties. At first he followed the policies of the Whigs, but in 1710 he switched over to the Tories and P| A soon became a member of the unofficial eabinet of advisers surrounding Queen Anne. He had started his writing in 1704, with the publication of two prose works, “The Battle of the Books” and “Tale of Tub”, From then on, his output was tremendous, consisting princi- pally of pamphlets, tracts and essays on religi- ‘ous and political subjects. He continued to write profusely until 1736, Poems, letters, and prose works of all kinds flowed from his pen in a torrent. He probably wrote more than did any other writer of the time. Most of his work was satiric in nature, miuch of it bitterly so. Real-_ izing the evile that clouded many aspects of the civiliza- tion in which he lived, he sought by sharp, biting sar- casm, by invective, by irony, to drive people to action against these evils: “Gulliver's Travels” (or,as it is more correctly known, “Travels into Several Re mote Nations of the World By Lemuel Gulliver”) writ- ten in 1726 has become one of the world’s most popular works of literature. “Gulliver's “Travels” was written by Swift ay a aay: age commentary on the European world Swift knew, a8 # condemnation of the laws and cue toms of his own and other countries that led one of the characters in the story to deseribe the inhabitants of Europe as “the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suf- fered to craw] upon the surface of the earth.” In later years, Swift's satire became more and ” more violently bitter, possibly the result of « mental disease which, by 1736, caused him to become insane. He never recovered and died on October 19, 1745.BEST LOVED STORIES FROM THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF FAIRY TALES = 501 SNOW WHITE AND THE 523 THE GALLANT TAILOR SEVEN DWARFS 524 THE WILD SWANS 502 THE UGLY DUCKLING 4525 THE LITTLE MERMAID 403 CINDERELLA 526 THE FROG PRINCE 508 THE PIED PIPER 527 THE GOLDEN-MAIRED GIANT 505 THE SLEEPING BEAUTY 528 THE PENNY PRINCE 506 THE 3 LITTLE PiGs 529 THE MAGIC SERVANTS 507 JACK AND THE BEANSTALK 520 THE GOLDEN BIRD 4508 GOLDILOCKS AND THES BEARS 531 RAPUNZEL 509 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 1532 THE DANCING PRINCESSES SIOLITTLE RED RIDING HOOD 1533 THE MAGIC FOUNTAIN 517 PUSS-N-BOOTS 594 THE GOLDEN TOUCH 512 RUMPELSTILTSKIN 4535 THE WIZARD OF OZ 513 PINOCCHIO 1536 THE CHIMNEY SWEEP SIS JOHNNY APPLESEED 4597 THE THREE FAIRIES 516 ALADDIN AND HIS LAMP 1538 SILLY HANS 1517 THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES 539 THE ENCHANTED FISH 518 THE GOLDEN GOOSE 540 THE TINDER.2OX S19 PAUL BUNTAN ‘541 SNOW WHITE & ROSE RED 1520 THUMBELINA ‘542 THE DONKEY'S.TALE 521 KING OF THE GOLOEN RIVER ‘543 THE HOUSE IN THE WOODS 522 THE NIGHTINGALE 4544 THE GOLDEN, FLEECE ONLY 25c EACH 4545 THE GLASS MOUNTAIN iC ENDORSED BY EDUCA- 546 THE ELVES AND THE TORS.
