Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Young Crusoes: Their Life and Adventures on an Island in the West Indies This book was written for the entertainment and instruction of children between twelve and eighteen years of age, the underlying idea being that the student of nature need never be lonely. Forced to lead the simple life on a deserted island far from friends, books, and other advantages, the three Crusoes found that nature supplied them not only with bodily, but also with mental wants. While the characters, the story, and the setting are fictitious, the natural history is entirely reliable, and the reader enjoys the rare privilege of having the nature treasures of many different localities brought together into a rather limited area. On this account, visitors to any part of the West Indies may find the book helpful. It may be added that the opinion of experts is divided regarding the origin of the monkey used in this story, some claiming that he was native to the island and others contending that he was introduced through human agency. The author is inclined to lean toward the latter theory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
