Daniel Defoe 
Robinson Crusoe 

2019 celebrates the 300th anniversary of the story of Robinson Crusoe – one of the most famous adventures of all time – with a brand new introduction from expert survivalist Bear Grylls. After surviving a terrible shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe discovers he is the only human on an island far from any shipping routes or rescue. At first he is devastated, but slowly, with patience and imagination, he transforms his dismal island into a tropical paradise. For twenty-four years he lives with no human companionship – until one fateful day, when he discovers he is not alone… Lightly abridged for Puffin Classics.
