Description

The Swiss Family Robinson by J. R. Wyss. Illustrated with line drawings and 8 colour plates by Charles Folkard. New translation by Audrey Clark. This version is meant to supersede all the English versions now current, which are based either on the first English rendering of the 1814 or W. H. Kingston's abridgment of a French translation, or on nineteenth-century elaboration's of both, all having in common a certain moralizing ponderousness not to be found in the original tale, whose naive and zestful clarity Miss Clark's rendering goes far to recapture. The dust jacket has light general wear and price unclipped. The inside front page has sadly been roughly removed but the book remains in a very tidy condition.
