Seeking Robinson Crusoe explores the legend behind Daniel Defoe's classic novel, positing possible places where this famous literary character could have been marooned and re-examining the claim that Crusoe was based on a real-life castaway, Alexander Selkirk. Effortlessly describing the tropical locales and practicalities of island life, explorer/traveller Severin entwines the fictional and factual in this unusual voyage of discovery.
