Robinson Crusoe
My interest in this particular book stems from a childhood visit to Lower Largo, in Fife, where I was shown a statue of Alexander Selkirk, and was told that he was the real Robinson Crusoe. In my mind I can clearly see the photograph I took that day, many years ago. I was looking up at the statue, a tall bearded man in old fashioned, torn clothes.

Lovely beach walks on Lower Largo. Must be a great place for holidays! Used to have a great fish and chip shop there as well. I also have many happy childhood memories of Lowere Largo. The statue must have been quite new then............
Ha ha! Fish and chips ... sounds good ...!
