The Swiss Family Robinson

This beautiful HarperCollins Children’s Classics edition of Johann David Wyss’s The Swiss Family Robinson is the perfect addition to any bookshelf.

A family venture turns into a survival effort when a ship is damaged during a tropical storm. A father, mother and four sons stumble across a small island that appears to be uninhabited. They set up camp, complete with makeshift housing, to protect against the elements. While exploring the territory, they gather food and other creature comforts. During their stay, the family is met with various challenges that will test their faith in God and each other.
