The Swiss family Robinson, or, Adventures of a father and mother and four sons in a desert island: With map and illustrations : the two parts complete in one volume


Book Description
Originally written to entertain his four young sons, Johann David Wyss based The Swiss Family Robinson on Daniel Defoe's classic shipwreck story, Robinson Crusoe (1719). Upon its initial publication in 1812, The Swiss Family Robinson was received with great enthusiasm not only as a first-rate adventure story, but also as a practical guide to self-sufficiency.
