A nice illustrated edition of one of the most popular books in the world.

This version has:

  • More than 100 original illustrations by Louis Rhead. You want to read this book with illustrations.
  • An introduction by W. D. Howells.
  • Nicely formatted text in an easy-to-read font.
  • A beautiful cover from the 1891 edition.

A terrible storm strands a Swiss pastor, with his wife and four sons, on a tropical island. Providentially, the Robinsons are optimistic and inventive, and with what they salvage from the wrecked ship, and the island's abundant fruits, plants and animals, they soon adapt—each day discovering new dangers, skills and delights in their strange new life.
