This is an abridged classic story based on the life of a Scotsman who was left on a desert island after a quarrel with the captain of his ship.

Robinson Crusoe is shipwrecked and survives for nearly 30 years on an island often visited by cannibals, before he is finally offered a chance to escape.

This wonderful series is a quick way into a range of exciting stories, from the chilling tale of "Frankenstein", to the gripping adventure of "Treasure Island" and the powerful animal story of "Call of the Wild".

Fast-moving and accessible, each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the classic novel, which loses none of the strength and flavour of the original.

It is available for the first time with an accompanying audio CD.
