About This Book

A family of parents and four sons survive a shipwreck and establish a home on an uninhabited island, combining practical ingenuity and close cooperation to meet basic needs. They explore the terrain, identify useful plants and animals, fashion tools, clothing, and shelter from wreckage and native resources, and cultivate food. Daily tasks double as lessons in natural history and craftsmanship for the children, while the household adapts routines, improves dwellings, and balances survival with domestic comfort.
