The Picture Story of Robinson Crusoe

Rediscover this lost 1933 version of the classic tale of Robinson Crusoe and his man Friday, their tale of survival and discovery here retold by Ramon Coffman and beautifully illustrated by Frank C. Papa. In the autumn of 1659 a small sailing ship is beset by storms which drive her hither and thither over the ocean. After the ship runs aground the crew board a lifeboat, only to be engulfed by a massive wave. The sole survivor swims for a nearby island that is to become both his savior and his prison. He forages what meager supplies he can from the wrecked ship and builds himself a new life of tropical splendor in exile - until the fateful day he discovers another man's footprint in the sand.
