Robinson Crusoe: A Reader's Theater Script-Story Collection
The timeless story of one man's survival, Daniel Defoe's 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe is now available in a collection of two Reader's Theater script-stories. Join Robinson Crusoe as he washes ashore on a lonesome island, salvages debris from his wrecked ship, does battle with his own despair, and attempts to rebuild the old world in new surroundings. In a physical, yet mental, battle, Crusoe uses faith and ingenuity to survive in a strange environment. His efforts are rewarded when he finally gains a human friend in the native, Friday. Sometimes hailed as the first English language novel, this story is the archetypal Character vs. Nature story.
