John Lang worried that boys found Defoe’s original too long, so he cut it down to the essential adventure. Robinson runs away to sea, is wrecked, builds a home and a boat, survives an earthquake and hurricane, finds the famous footprint in the sand, rescues and trains Friday, and at last sees an English ship arrive.
A compact first taste of the great castaway story for younger readers, from the Told to the Children series. Download the free EPUB.
