For more than 270 years, readers everywhere have been fascinated
by the young fool who ran away from wealth, security, and family for a
rough life at seaand came to his senses too late, alone on a tropical
island. Alone except for cannibals, that is, and God.
Robinson
Crusoe's adventure takes place on a remote island. Adjusting to the
primitive conditions, he learns to make tools, shelters, bread, and
clothes. More importantly, he becomes a Christian.
Modern
editions tend to leave out Crusoe's long struggle with God and his
change as he studies God's Word. As part of the Classics for Young
Readers Series, Kathryn Lindskoog faithfully preserves such details.
