About the author

Johann David Wyss

1743–1818

Best remembered for writing The Swiss Family Robinson, he turned a family storytelling project into one of the best-known adventure classics in children’s literature. A Swiss clergyman as well as an author, he shaped the tale around practical skills, moral lessons, and the pleasures of curiosity about the natural world.
