Description: We take Pride in our Packaging THIS SURVIVAL TALE STILL THRILLS AFTER 200 YEARS THIS IS ONE OF THE COLLECTIBLE CLASSICS published by Barnes & Noble for younger readers (though adults love them too) - attractive and nicely designed bonded leather bounds collected in sets not only for reading enjoyment but also for display on the family bookshelves. Several of them have been issued - internationally loved titles like The Wizard of Oz, The Little Mermaid, Grimm's Fairy Tales, The Blue Fairy Book, Alice in Wonderland, A Little Princess and other old favorites. Swiss Family Robinson has been a family favorite for more than 200 years. Written in German by Johann David Wyss, it tells of a Swiss family being stranded on a remote island after a sea disaster and it offered a message - almost a sermon: how to survive against the odds with self-reliance, the proper use of natural resources, and the proper observation of family values and intelligent farming. It has been well received by many cultures and generations. THE VOLUME IS IN FINE CONDITION and appears to have never been read. Its illustrations (see above) are by T. H. Robinson and the cover design is by Jo Obarowski. The page ends are silvered for an attractive appearance as well as protection of the paper and it has a sewn-in ribbon page-marker. This edition is an earlier version in the classic collectible series with a tan colored binding rather than the orange version published later. Books in the series are often sold encased in shrink wrap but the wrap has been removed from this one.
