Available January 2026 – pre-order now!

Shipwrecked, alone, a footprint. Survival, solitude, and a shocking discovery.

This striking hardback edition presents Daniel Defoe’s classic tale of adventure, Robinson Crusoe, featuring gold cover embossing and gilded page-edges.

After being shipwrecked on a desert island, mariner Robinson Crusoe spends over 30 years surviving in complete solitude. Until he spies a footprint on the shore and realises he is not as alone as he thought…

Robinson Crusoe was first published in 1719 and has been hailed as the classic adventure story. Although the inspiration came from a real-life castaway called Alexander Selkirk, the novel can be enjoyed as a tale of survival, of spiritual awakening, or as a mythic quest.

This beautiful pocket-sized gift edition contains the classic, unabridged text, presented with an embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers, and gold gilded page edges. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, this book makes a wonderful gift for any lover of classic literature.
