The Swiss Family Robinson - William H G Kingston - Bog

First published in 1812, The Swiss Family Robinson is a classic adventure novel by Swiss author Johann David Wyss about a Swiss family shipwrecked in the East Indies en route to Port Jackson, Australia. 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. This translated edition was originally published in 1891. Jules Verne, a notable French novelist, declared that The Swiss Family Robinson was one of his favorite books. He liked it so much that he decided to write a sequel entitled The Castaways of the Flag, published in 1900, many years after Wyss's death.
