Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. the classic story of the Robinson family shipwrecked on an island where they quickly learn that the island is filled with giant fig trees, wild animals and hidden caves.-" The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss was first published in 1812. It was written by a Swiss pastor who was inspired by Robinson Crusoe, but was trying to write something that his children could learn from. One of his sons edited the book and another illustrated the book. He also wrote The Castaways of the Flag with Jules Verne. Its a book about a family who got shipwrecked on an island and had to survive for over ten years apart from civilization. They gathered animals and tamed them and domesticated them. They domesticated an ostrich, a coyote, and eagle, a monkey and many other wild animals. The family consisted of three boys, a mom and a dad. And then, near the end, they found someone else living on the island from a previous shipwreck, which was a girl. Then at the end, a ship that was coming for the girl found the island and saved them. They put the place on the map, so that the next time someone was lost on that island, they would know that the island was there. The mom and dad decided to stay, and sent the youngest away to get a good education. The oldest boy stayed."- Rebekah Tiemens. Seller Inventory # 015783
