Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Admirable Crichton" by J. M. Barrie is a comic stage play written in 1902. When an aristocratic British family and their butler are shipwrecked on a deserted island, the rigid class system they knew reverses dramatically. Crichton, the capable servant, becomes the natural leader while his former masters struggle to survive. As two years pass and romance blooms across class lines, rescue threatens to upend their new social order. Can they return to their old lives after everything has changed?
