Swiss Family Robinson, The

Travelling from Switzerland to start a new colony proves to be much more adventurous than anticipated when the Robinson are shipwrecked on a tropical island. Dangerous animals, torrential monsoons and many other difficulties test their ingenuity.

“For many days we had been tempest-tossed…the raging storm increased in fury until on the seventh day all hope was lost.”

From these dire opening lines, a timeless story of adventure begins. One family will emerge alive from this terrible storm: the Robinsons—a Swiss pastor, his wife, and four sons, plus two dogs and a shipload of livestock.
