Castaways of the Flag by Jules Verne

Jules Verne achieved a triumph when his imagination, fired by Rudolph Wyss' The Swiss Family Robinson, was impelled to carry the story a step farther in Castaways of the Flag. An island was ever his spiritual home; and no one was ever happier upon one. Castaways of the Flag is a satisfactory sequel to The Swiss Family Robinson because it is the production of Jules Verne, an original genius, set in motion by Rudolph Wyss. Wherever The Swiss Family Robinson is heard, Castaways of the Flag should also be heard.
