内容简介
When a Swiss family are shipwrecked
on an island somewhere in the South
Seas, they display extraordinary
resourcefulness in transforming it into a
home away from home. The island s lush
vegetation and abundant wildlife -
including buffalo, iguana, kangaroos and
penguins - along with some livestock,
guns and tools rescued from the ship,
provide them with all they need to build
a castle in the trees, make clothes, cook
exotic meals and carry on a happy family
life in the place they call New Switzerland.
The book,s abiding fascination lies in its
colourful descriptions of landscapes, such
as Salt Crysta! Cave, Jackal River and
Prospect Hill, and the wealth of
information about the natural world the
family encounters. But what happens
when they rescue an English girl from
the ocean? Will they ever want to leave
their island paradise?
