I am not Friday
Libraries Connected and BBC Novels That Shaped The World bring you…
A new humorous and imaginative re-telling of the Robinson Crusoe story.
Often regarded as the first English novel, we’re all familiar with the basics of the Robinson Crusoe story: A man, a shipwreck to a desert Island, some survival skills that would give Bear Grylls a run for his money… and his faithful servant – Man Friday. But what if Robinson Crusoe got some things a bit…well, wrong? What if ‘Man’ Friday…wasn’t? And what if it wasn’t the first novel after all?
