Aikin Lucy
Johann David Wyss (March 4, 1743 - January 11, 1818) is best remembered for his book The Swiss Family Robinson. It is said that he was inspired by 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. The Swiss Family Robinson was first published in 1812 and translated into English two years later. It has since become one of the most popular books of all time. The book was edited by his son, Johann Rudolf Wyss, a scholar who wrote the Swiss national anthem. Another son, Johann Emmanuel Wyss, illustrated the book.

Lucy Aikin (1781-1864) was an English historical writer. Lucy was interested in early education, and as such published several works to assist young readers: Poetry for Children: Consisting of Short Pieces to be Committed to Memory (1801), Juvenile Correspondence or Letters (1811), An English Lesson Book (1828), and The Acts of Life (1858). Ms. Aikin also was responsible for translating the French texts: Louis Francois Jauffret's The Travels of Rolando (c. 1804), and Jean Gaspard Hess' The Life of Ulrich Zwingli (1812). She also was responsible for two creative works: Epistles on Women, Exemplifying their Character and Condition in Various Ages and Nations, with Miscellaneous Poems (1810), and her only work of fiction Lorimer (1814). She also was well-remembered for her biographical works: Memoir of John Aikin, MD (1823), The Works of Anna Laetita Barbauld (1825), The Life of Anne Boleyn (1827), and The Life of Joseph Addison (1843). Under the pseudonym Mary Godolphin, Lucy Aikin is also attributed for producing versions of: Aesop's Fables (1868), Sandford and Merton (1868), Robinson Crusoe (1868), The Pilgrim's Progress (1869) and The Swiss Family Robinson (1869), "in Words of One Syllable".
