Originally published as The Children's Robinson Crusoe by Mrs. Eliza Farrar in 1830.

This edition omits "most of the chapter relating to the early life of the hero, and condense[s] the rest of the volume." It is adapted "to the use of schools ... by simplifying many words and reducing the length of sentences. With these exceptions, the editor has taken few liberties with the text of Mrs. Farrar."--Page [3].

Based upon part I of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.
