A rereading of the original, beloved in childhood, reveals its
old-fashioned wordiness, so perhaps an abridgement is needed to
introduce it to today's 3rd to 5th graders. But in this abridgement
much of the fascination, the enchantment, of the original is wholly
lost. The illustrations, too, in stereotyped drawings and
sentimental color pictures do nothing to enhance the text. There
are better presentations of this story, which even today is a
classic in the field of tales of castaways. (Kirkus Reviews)
The Swiss Family Robinson is a story of the happy discovery of the
wonders of natural history by a family shipwrecked on a desert
island, who remain united through all the adversities they
encounter. Inspired by Robinson Crusoe, this joyful narrative by a
Swiss pastor remains a classic tale to be enjoyed by all.
