Robinson+Crusoe

Robinson Crusoe (Graphic Classics series) by Daniel Defoe retold by Ian Graham

I find the Graphic Classics are very popular in my library, and this one is no exception. The art work is attractive and not too stylized for the subject. Each page has a key to explain words or phrases that may not be understood. The back of the book has a biography of Daniel Defoe, information on pirates, an account of Alexander Selkirk and a historical timeline of Defoe's lifetime. While the story is simplified, it contains all the main elements and works very well. Sally Nelson, Leach Library, Londonderry.
