Happy Birthday Robinson Crouse!
I wonder if I would find the book as fascinating today as I did when I was nine years old. We read an abbreviated edition at school but I had already read parts of the unabbreviated book (in Swedish) at home.
I took it out of the book case today – and have to admit that I’m not so sure that I would manage to read the whole thing.
I didn’t have the patience to read “The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Daniel Defoe” by Richard West, that I bought some years ago. But the picturs are nice.
