The Novel
The test describes the family and their adventures on the island they're shipwrecked on. Contrary to popular belief, there are no pirates in the original novel of any kind, and their stay on the island is actually quite peaceful. Over the year, various chapters of the novel have been replaced with new ones and lost forevermore. Moreover, Father Wyss never gave his story an ending, so that the one used today was actually written by a lady in France named lsabel de Castile, who'd translated the novel into French. She it was who created the character of Jenny Hanniver. That name comes from the dried and twisted rays then popular at the time.
