About this audiobook
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. (Summary from The Baldwin Project.)
Author
James Baldwin
James Baldwin (1924–87) was a writer and civil rights activist. Among his best-known works are the novel Giovanni’s Room, the essay collection Notes of a Native Son, and the polemic The Fire Next Time.
