About the Author:
Johann David Wyss (1743 - 1818 in Bern) was a Swiss author, best remembered for his book The Swiss Family Robinson (1812). It is said that he was inspired by Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, but wanted to write a story from which his own children would learn, as the father in the story taught important lessons to his children. The Swiss Family Robinson was first published in 1812 and translated into English two years later. It has since become one of the most popular books of all time. The book was edited by his son, Johann Rudolf Wyss, a scholar who wrote the Swiss national anthem. Another son, Johann Emmanuel Wyss, illustrated the book. Wyss has been described as an author whose style was "firmly Christian and moral in tone".

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
