For more than 270 years, readers of
all ages everywhere have been
fascinated by the story of a young fool
who ran away from wealth, security, and
family for a rough life at sea—and came
to his senses too late, alone on a
tropical island. Alone, except for
cannibals, and God.
Robinson Crusoe’s adventure takes place
on an island near the Orinoco River of
Venezuela. Adjusting to the primitive
conditions, he learns to make tools,
shelters, bread, clothes, baskets, and
canoes. More importantly, he becomes a
Christian. Modern editions often leave
out Crusoe’s long struggle with God and
his slow transformation as he studies
and applies God’s Word. As part of
P&R’s Classics for Young Readers
Series, Kathryn Lindskoog has edited
Robinson Crusoe for today’s reader,
faithfully preserving every detail of
the original story. Full-page
illustrations are featured to add to
your reading pleasure.
