"When a Swiss couple and their four sons are shipwrecked on an uninhabited island, they adapt to their "New Switzerland" using many resourceful and imaginative methods--building a tree house, finding food such as coconuts, sugarcane, honey, and potatoes, taming animals and other forms of securing themselves against danger."@en
"Swept off course by a raging storm, a Swiss pastor, his wife, and their four young sons are shipwrecked on a strange, uncharted tropical island. This timeless classic story of survival and adventure has fired the imaginations of readers since it first appeared in 1812, and it reads just as fresh as if it were written today. As they struggle to survive in the wilderness, the Robinsons discover their own amazing ingenuity and courage, each of the sons utilizing his own unique nature as their adventures lead to difficult challenges and fantastic discoveries. Although they have lost almost everything in the shipwreck, they are so resourceful that, when rescue finally comes, they decline to leave the happy life they have constructed for themselves in their exotic haven."
