Read by Denny Sayers.
Denny’s reading of “Robinson Crusoe Written Anew for Children” is a great introduction to some of our children’s literature at LibriVox. He does a great job drawing the listener into the story.

In The Prince and the Pauper, Twain switches the place of Prince Edward of England with [...]
