Adapted by James Baldwin. Adaptation of the story of Robinson Crusoe for grammar school children. Tells how the shipwrecked sailor makes a new life for himself on the island, providing shelter, food, and clothing for himself from the few tools he rescued from the ship and what he is able to find on the island. He lives on the island over twenty years before he is finally rescued and during that time must re-invent almost everything necessary for daily sustenance. ***** James Baldwin (1841 - 1925) was born in Indiana, United States and made a career as an educator and administrator in that state starting at the age of 24. After a long career in education, he went on to become a widely published textbook editor and children's author in the subjects of legends, mythology, biography, and literature, among others. ***** Daniel Defoe (ca. 1659-1661 - 24 April 1731), born Daniel Foe, was an English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, who gained fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain and is among the founders of the English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than 500 books, pamphlets and journals on various topics (including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural). He was also a pioneer of economic journalism. ***** Audiobook in MP3 Format (NOTE: You must use an MP3 compatible player, the disk will appear blank on a non-compatible player)
