About This Item
The novel opens with the family in the hold of a sailing ship, weathering a great storm. The ships' passengers evacuate without them, and William and Elizabeth Robinson and their four children (Fritz, Ernest, Jack and Francis) are left to survive alone. As the ship tosses about, the father - William - prays that God will spare them.
The ship survives the night and the family finds themselves within sight of a tropical desert island. The next morning, they decide to get to the island they can see beyond the reef.
Good condition, clean and bright, spine slightly tanned. Beautifully illustrated in color by Lynd Ward. Very slight discoloration on back cover, almost not noticeable. Slipcase shows shelfwear. A very good book, great for a gift.
