I bought two copies of this book so my grandson could have one and I the other. He lives a good distance away and I read to him via Skype.
Wonderful story written for children. Many of the violent and gross parts of the original were not included.
I am a big fan of Yesterday's Classics and have found that they publish some excellent reprints of classic books. This edition of Robinson Crusoe is no exception.
I read this story with my 4th grader for school (we Virtual School). We liked it, this adaptation was pretty easy to understand.
