Gulliver meeting the Brobdingnagian Quuen The King and Queen of Brobdingnag love Gulliver, but the Queen's dwarf is very jealous because the queen is now more fond of Gulliver. Since Gulliver is too small to use their huge chairs, beds, knives and forks, the queen commissions a small house to be built for Gulliver so that he can be carried around in it. This box is referred to as his travelling box.

Gulliver has many accidents during his stay there. The Queen's dwarf drops barrel-sized apples on him, hailstones as big as tennis balls batter and bruise him, a dog picks him up in his mouth and carries him to the royal gardener and a bird of prey nearly grabs him. The queen has a toy boat made for him that Gulliver uses. One day a frog jumps on his boat and Gulliver has to deal with it. The greatest danger comes from a monkey that snatches Gulliver and carries him to the roof of the Palace where he is rescued.

Gulliver amuses himself by using the Brobdingnagian King's stubble to create a comb and chairs from the Queens hair. He also plays the Piano for them by running up and down the keys. Gulliver discusses the state of Europe with the King. The King is not impressed with Gulliver's accounts of Europe, especially upon learning of the usage of guns and cannons.

After spending over two years in Brobdingnag, on a trip to the seaside, his "travelling box" is seized by a giant eagle. The eagle then drops Gulliver and his box right into the sea where he is picked up by some sailors, who return him to England.
