Editorial notes: Daniel Defoe's tale of Robinson Crusoe was first published in 1719. Numerous--almost countless-- versions were published subsequently. Several are available in Project Gutenberg's library, including our e-books #521, 561, 5902, 6328, 6936, and 11239 (https://www.gutenberg.org/etext/521 etc.). Various tales have been included in the different versions, usually under the names of "The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe," "The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe," and "Robinson Crusoe's Vision of the Angelic World." Even an account of the adventures of Alexander Selkirk, who was marooned for four years on an island in the Pacific Ocean, has been incorporated into some versions of the Robinson Crusoe stories. All of these tales are incorporated into this e-book taken from an 1801 edition.
Project Gutenberg also has an HTML version of this file which includes the original illustrations. See 11866-h.htm or 11866-h.zip: (https://www.gutenberg.org/files/11866/11866/11866.htm) or (https://www.gutenberg.org/files/11866/11866.zip)
