Robinson Crusoe
SUPPOSE the purpose of the BBC session "Have You Read -?" is to get the listener interested enough in the chosen book to read it, or to re-read it if he has already done so. The presentation of "Robinson Crusoe" from 4YA, with its suitable "noises off" suggesting breakers on a reef and tropic birds, cer-
tainiy succeeded in stimulating interest in this classic. Most of us have read it at some remote time during’ our childhood, and have memories of those scenes which naturally appeal to young readers-the hero in his curious garb with goatskin umbrella, his menagerie of parrot, cats, and faithful hound, his black companion, Friday. But listeners who heard the BBC resume of author, plot and origins of "Robinson Crusoe" may well go back to it with renewed interest, and, re-reading it with adult comprebension, discover in it hitherto unsuspected beauties.
