Adapted, with a conscience, from Defoe under the supervision of
Josette Frank, Children's Book Adviser of the Child Study
Association of America. The old story still stands up as one of the
best adventure yarns for children who are interested in tales of
shipwreck. (Kirkus Reviews)
With an Introduction and Notes by Doreen Roberts, Rutherford
College, University of Kent at Canterbury. From its first
publication in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been printed in over 700
editions. It has inspired almost every conceivable kind of
imitation and variation, and been the subject of plays, opera,
cartoons, and computer games. The character of Crusoe has entered
the consciousness of each succeeding generation as readers add
their own interpretation to the adventures so thrillingly
'recorded' by Defoe. Praised by eminent figures such as Coleridge,
Rousseau and Wordsworth, this perennially popular book was cited by
Karl Marx in Das Kapital to illustrate economic theory. However it
is readers of all ages over the last 280 years who have given
Robinson Crusoe its abiding position as a classic tale of
adventure.
