Review
Retold by John Kennett; Illustrated by Jane Taylor, Genus Art. The retelling brings this classic story within the grasp of the younger reader where an unabridged text would prove daunting. In preparing the series, careful attention has been paid to the reading and interest levels of children. This new series of Illustrated Chosen Classics is a collection of the world's most famous stories, especially retold for children.
About the Author
Johann David Wyss (1743–1818) was an army chaplain with four sons; it was to entertain them that he wrote The Swiss Family Robinson. His son Johan Rudolf prepared the manuscript for publication in Zurich in 1812–13. The first English edition was translated by William Godwin in 1814.
J. Hillis Miller taught for many years at Johns Hopkins University and then at Yale University, before going to the University of California at Irvine in 1986, where he is now a UCI Distinguished Research Professor. He is the author of many books and essays on nineteenth- and twentieth-century English, European, and American literature and on literary theory. His books include Others, Speech Acts in Literature, and On Literature, the last of which includes a section on The Swiss Family Robinson.
Literary critic and feminist thinker Elizabeth Janeway is the author of six novels and many works of nonfiction, including Improper Behavior, Powers of the Weak, and Between Myth and Morning.
