"After a violent storm leaves the Robinson family stranded on a deserted island, they must struggle to survive. With only each other and their wits to rely on, the parents, two teenage sons and their eight-year-old daughter, try to build a life for themselves in this perilous uncharted territory. It is the family's resourcefulness, the harrowing adventures they encounter and the natural wonders of their island that see them persevere. Their undying hope that, perhaps, one day a passing ship will sight them, rescue them and return them to Switzerland, makes for an unforgettable family experience. Based on the classic Novel by Johann Wyss, Swiss Family Robinson has become one of the world's best-loved and most enduring stories of survival."--Container.
