Perfect book just what I wanted I recommend buying it great book definitely tell a friend about it please buy it
The version shown here is not what I received. This version might have been an early translation to English. Was NOT suitable for my 6 and 9 year old. Too difficult for them to read. Am returning.
I admire this adventurous tale of a shipwrecked family who were headed to a new life as colonists. They combined hard work, the remains of a well stocked wreck, a fertile island unaccountably populated with a Noah's ark variety of animals, and strong family values. It remains my favorite read after 70 years of avid reading.
This is a true classic that I have read and re-read many times over my 78 years. I grew up in a hands-on family that could build houses, manufacture vehicles, grow crops, and hunt for fossils, so I tried to imagine all that was done to do the marvelous things the Swiss Family accomplished, while still enjoying the entertaining moral tale Wyss wove. Read on, and enjoy!
This is an adult version. Not a children's level reading book.
