Robinson Crusoe (Penguin Classics)

Edward E. Leslie

Mariner Books, 1998

Well done
I've just published a book on shipwrecks through the Menasha Ridge Press and leaned a bit on Leslie's book while I was writing mine. Going through my own research (exhausting, if not exhaustive), I can attest to how thorough a job Leslie has done here. This is a great ...

R. B. Mitchell

Focus, 2007

Excellent Book!
I really enjoyed this book. Being from Chicago as well, I felt an ever closer connection to the author and his story. I had a real hard time putting it down and I had to keep tissue close by whenever I was reading it. As a Mother, it was especially heart wrenching to ...

The best Disney guide, hands down!
I just bought the 2009 version of this guide to plan our November trip to Disney. I used it in 2004 to plan our first trip and it was awesome. Everything it said was right on the money, from the hotel descriptions, advice on room requests, schedules to go by, ...

Voyage of Slaves: A Tale From Castaways of the Flying Dutchman

Brian Jacques

Philomel, 2006

Great for reluctant boy readers
My 8 year old son was a very reluctant reader and this book got him started. Something about it really grabbed him (boys, dog, pirates) and he has been reading B. Jacques ever since. Highly recommend.

The Tempest (The Pelican Shakespeare)

William Shakespeare

Penguin Classics, 1999

Excellent activity based edition

Unearthing Ancient America: The Lost Sagas of Conquerors, Castaways, and Scoundrels

New Page Books, 2008

Rewrite the history books.
