The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
The story of the Swiss Family Robinson had always been incomplete until Jules Verne carried it on. In Their Island Home the thread of the story is picked up again and we are told of the rescue of Jenny Montrose, of the visit of the Unicorn, of the advances in civilization on New Switzerland, of further explorations of the island, with the many desperate adventures entailed, and of the capture of Jack by savages. Whether or not one has read the Swiss Family Robinson, it is hard to imagine a more fascinating tale of adventure than this story of the Robinson Family on their lonely island.
