Johann David Wyss

Johann David Wyss was a Swiss writer best known for his children's classic The Swiss Family Robinson. A pastor in Bern, Switzerland, Wyss' writing was influenced by his four sons, and was intended to serve as a moral guide for self-reliance, farming, co-operation, and frugality. Wyss died in 1818 at the age of 74, six years after the publication of The Swiss Family Robinson.
