Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A shipwreck. A sole survivor, stranded on a deserted island. What could be more appealing to children than Robinson Crusoe's amazing adventure? Set in the 17th century, and unfolding over a 30-year period, it offers plenty of suspense and everyday detail about how Crusoe manages to stay alive. Additionally, it paints a fascinating portrait of the age--including references to slavery and Europe's view of the "New World."
An abridged version of the tale of Englishman Robinson Crusoe, who, after becoming the sole survivor of a 1659 shipwreck, lives on a deserted island for more than twenty-eight years.
