Robinson Crusoe's Story
'Robinson Crusoe's Story' Summary
Charles Edward Carryl's "Robinson Crusoe's Story" is a humorous verse parody of Daniel Defoe's classic novel, originally published in 1919. It retells the tale of the shipwrecked Robinson Crusoe in a whimsical and tongue-in-cheek fashion, poking fun at the original's conventions and themes of survival, isolation, and self-reliance. Carryl uses his clever wit and inventive rhymes to capture the spirit of Defoe's tale while adding a lighthearted and entertaining twist.Book Details
