A review by elinacre
The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss

3.0

man, if ol' mr. robinson were around today (and if he were, ya know, real), he could kick some seeeerious butt on "survivor"! he'd have his tribe living in a flipping mansion with fountains and gardens, an entire menagerie of animals domesticated, a fleet of various boats whipped up... anyway. i paused countless times to google various animals and plants and locations referenced in the book; i'm curious to see how their story comes alive in a movie (or tv show? is there a show? i feel like i should know this...).
