Robinson Crusoe (Dover Children’s Thrift Classics)

This children’s edition of Robinson Crusoe is an excellent introduction to Defoe that will surely ignite an interest in early novels! This classic adventure story recounts struggles of an Englishman marooned on an uninhabited island for 24 years: his efforts to build a shelter and develop a food supply, his dramatic encounter with the native Friday and their eventual escape and return to civilization.
