Abel's Island by William Steig
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Okay. Abel gets stranded on an island, survives the winter, and returns to his wife. He grows up a bit in the process. Got from the library - same author as Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, but Abel wasn't nearly as good, and 100 pages instead of 20. It /does/ have some good dramatic suspense, which I just spoiled for you, above...
