Publisher Description
The Swiss Family Robinson has delighted generations of readers with its exciting tale of a family which, though shipwrecked, displays “the right stuff” and builds a charming colony that later, they do not want to leave. Cut off from the comforts and companionship of other humans, they use a familiarity with natural history and biology to find the resources and build the tools to construct a canoe, weave cloth, irrigate a garden, and turn an immense hollow tree into a lofty house with a spiral staircase. They domesticate buffaloes, wild asses, and monkeys, establish farms and plantations, and finally, have a terrifying encounter with natives from a nearby island.
Customer Reviews
It’s a different version
It’s a good book but unbeknownst to me it was a different version with a different ending. I personally prefer the original.
Do not like narrator
I really do not like the way the narrator is reading. His tone is sort of shouting and he gives equal emphasis to everything he is reading. The story itself is terrific and I am very familiar with it, but I have to say, he's spoiling it for me.
