About this listen

A classic tale of adventure and survival, The Swiss Family Robinson has been a best seller ever since it was published in 1812, just over 200 years ago. Written by Swiss pastor Johann David Wyss, it begins with a shipwreck. A boat carrying a family of settlers to a distant colony is driven onto a reef just off an uncharted tropical island. The sailors desert the ship in lifeboats, leaving the family onboard. They weather the storm, build a makeshift raft out of empty casks, and head for the island. Once on dry land, they set about exploring their new surroundings. Using their wits and ingenuity, they build a new life together and make many amazing discoveries....

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Some brutal interactions with endangered species and far from politically correct, we absolutely LOVED the honesty and historical context of this story. So much to learn about starting a life from scratch and I love how resourceful the family was. It was capital. Hehe.
