Original titleDer Schweizerische Robinson
THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON is a story of family cooperation and mutual support set on an exotic distant island. The tale, the most famous imitation of Defoe's ROBINSON CRUSOE, was concocted by Johann Wyss's father for the enjoyment of his sons. The sons pooled their talents in writing, illustrating and editing to produce this popular classic. THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON is an ideal selection to share with children, at home, on vacation, or on a long weekend.
