"The Admirable Crichton" by JM Barrie

Crichton the super-efficient butler for a family of haughty British aristocrats is the true master of Lord Loam’s household, he keeps his place, honouring the tightly regulated social structure of England. When the family, and its servants, are shipwrecked and marooned on a desert island, only Crichton has the skill and resourcefulness to keep everyone alive. Within a few months, the social order has been reversed: Crichton is the "governor", while his former employers are his willing and eager servants. Lady Mary, assuming that she will never be able to return to her proper fiance, falls in love with Crichton. But once the castaways are rescued and returned to their London estate, the original master-servant status quo is restored…

JM Barrie writer of Peter Pan.
