Manage episode 329030256 series 3351669
Keith Brymer Jones chooses Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe with illustrations by F G Moorsom.
More about the book:
Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. It was not written as a book for children but illustrated editions were published later for younger readers eager to follow the adventures of Crusoe as he sailed the high seas eventually being shipwrecked on a desert island. Crusoe’s involvement with slavery, trafficking and colonial expansion is now recognised but for the many who read it as a child, or had it read to them, Crusoe’s adventures, running away to sea against the will of his parents, are the stuff of fantasy and freedom.
