Their experience is colorful, creative, and full of exciting adventures.   For more than two centuries, Johann David Wysss beloved book has entertained young readers. This illustrated edition, with full-color plates by T. H. Robinson, features an elegant bonded leather binding, a satin-ribbon bookmark, distinctive gilded edging, and decorative endpapers. Its a book that will be cherished by readers of all age.

    Johann David Wyss

    Johann David Wyss was a Swiss writer best known for his children’s classic The Swiss Family Robinson. A pastor in Bern, Switzerland, Wyss’s writing was influenced by his four sons, and was intended to serve as a moral guide for self-reliance, farming, cooperation, and frugality. Wyss died in 1818 at the age of 74, six years after the publication of The Swiss Family Robinson.
