A Swiss family, parents William and Elizabeth and their four sons Fritz, Ernest, Jack and Francis, are shipwrecked en route to Australia when their vessel is struck by a storm and the crew abandons ship. Surviving the night, they build a makeshift boat from salvaged tubs to reach a nearby uninhabited tropical island, ferrying across tools, livestock and supplies as they set about building a new life and exploring their surroundings. Johann David Wyss wrote the tale for his own four sons, shaped by Rousseau's educational ideals, with lessons on self-reliance and natural history woven through the adventure.
