The Swiss Family Robinson recounts the tale of a family shipwrecked on an undiscovered island who build a tree house and find food from the resources of the island, encountering a fantastic variety of flora and fauna along the way. The earlier shipwreak adventure on which The Swiss Family Robinson was based, Robinson Crusoe shows similar ingenuity as the title character faces the wilderness, cannibals and mutinous sailors in the classic tale of survival and salvation.
