About Johann David Wyss, the Author:
Johann David Wyss German pronunciation:?jo'han?da'f't?vi's (May 28, 1743 - January 11, 1818) is best remembered for his book The Swiss Family Robinson. It is said that he was inspired by Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, but wanted to write a story from which his own children would learn, as the father in the story taught important lessons to his children.
