Publisher's Synopsis

The Real Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe is a novel written by Francis Cowley Burnand in 1893. The book is a humorous adaptation of the classic novel Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. It follows the adventures of Robinson Crusoe, a young man who is stranded on a deserted island after a shipwreck. Unlike the original novel, this version of Robinson Crusoe is a bumbling and comical character who often finds himself in ridiculous situations. Throughout the book, Robinson Crusoe encounters a variety of strange and amusing characters, including cannibals, pirates, and a talking parrot. He also has to deal with a series of mishaps and misadventures, such as accidentally setting fire to his own camp and getting stuck in a tree. Despite the lighthearted tone of the book, it still contains many of the themes and motifs of the original Robinson Crusoe novel, such as the struggle for survival, the importance of resourcefulness and ingenuity, and the power of human resilience. Overall, The Real Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe is a fun and entertaining read that offers a unique and humorous take on a classic story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
