A family gets stranded on an island. They get all the useful things off the ship and then they blow it up so that they can get all the wood. They found a big tree and make a house in its branches and a staircase going round inside the trunk (it was called Falconhurst). They also found a salt cave and made that into another house. Falconhurst was a summer home and the salt cave a winter one.
There were four boys. Fritz, Ernest, Jack and Franz. They had lots of animals, they even had an ostrich and buffalo. They even got to ride on them. Once they had a race and suddenly the mum and dad heard hooves and Franz came riding on his buffalo.
When the boys were older, Fritz went exploring on his own. When he got back he told them he wanted to show them something. So they follow him to a smaller island and he introduced them to a girl called Jenny. She stayed with them until one day a ship came. They were looking for Jenny to take her home. Fritz and Franz went with her. Fritz and Jenny got engaged. The rest of the family stayed on the island. They had named it New Switzerland.
