Johann David Wyss was a Swiss writer best known for his children’s classic The Swiss Family Robinson. A pastor in Bern, Switzerland, Wyss’s writing was influenced by his four sons, and was intended to serve as a moral guide for self-reliance, farming, cooperation, and frugality. Wyss died in 1818 at the age of 74, six years after the publication of The Swiss Family Robinson.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my new favorite books. I loved the movie as a kid, and read an abridged version, but after reading the whole book. The movie actually makes me mad because it neglected so much of this excellent book. It is an inspiring challenging and joy filled read. That I would recommend to anyone. It is also a sad reminder that such bountiful and useful knowledge is now lost to the general population. A wonderful story!
