About this listen

Dive into the enchanting world of classic literature with Robinson Crusoe in Words of One Syllable, a unique adaptation by Mary Godolphin, the pseudonym of Lucy Aikin. She brilliantly translated timeless tales into simple, single-syllable language, making them accessible and engaging for young readers. This particular volume is based on Daniel Defoes iconic work, often hailed as the first English novel, published in 1719. Godolphin’s talent also shines through her adaptations of Bunyans Pilgrims Progress and Wyss Swiss Family Robinson. As a complement to my previous recordings for LibriVox—Defoes original Robinson Crusoe and James Baldwins youthful retelling—this version showcases the enduring appeal of Defoe’s narrative across generations. Join us in exploring the adventure! (Summary by Denny Sayers)
