Spooky!



As reported in my last post, I am currently reading Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, and this morning I find that archaeologists have discovered evidence of Alexander Selkirk, the marooned sailor who originally inspired the story - here.

Must be Halloween.

There is also an interesting article on Defoe here
(PS I love the naff illustration for the cover of this edition.)
