Shipwrecked on an unchartered island, the Swiss Family Robinson - mother, father and four young boys - make the most of their predicament, adapting to the island and turning the absence of civilization to their advantage. Through perseverance, hard work and self reliance, they become masters of their new environment. Their experience is colourful, creative and filled with exciting adventures. This illustrated edition, with full-colour plates by T. H. Robinson, features an elegant bonded-leather binding, a satin-ribbon bookmark, distinctive gilded edging and decorative endpapers.
