Swiss Family Robinson

By: Johann Wyss

Narrated by: Jack Sondericker

The Swiss Family Robinson recounts the adventures of a father, mother, and four sons marooned on a tropical island. The story unfolds beginning with the tragic storm that claims their ship and the lives of the captain and crew, continuing with their own harrowing battle with the elements and dangerous landing on the remote island shore, and onward through their ingenious use of the materials at hand to survive. They encounter adventure after adventure, with discovery following upon discovery until, at last, they must face the choice of staying on the island that has become their home, or return to a civilization they left behind.

One of my favorites.

Classic book. Not bad, but you can hear the pages turning and the reader breathing.

Original unabridged Story is fabulous!

Filled with adventure, this original story gives credit to the Lord for safety and provision. The description of the lands, animals and plant life, are vivid. I highly recommend this version.

Unexpected pleasure

As a warning to all future listeners, this book is very different than what we’ve all seen in our beloved movie. This however, did not take away from the excitement of this story. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

truly complete!

Loved it! This is truly the complete unabridged version of my childhood favorite! I'm delighted!

great classic

I grow up watching the movie, the book is so much better. be warned though this is not for the PC crowd, they actually have to hunt and kill animals for food and the "mother" is actually proud to be a wife and a mother which in some circles today is considered sexist and misogynist. the narrator is great and really in bodies the father from the movie. as with most books the storyline is quite a bit different than the movie but still good.
