Synopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Daniel Defoe beyond Robinson Crusoe


First published in 1719, “The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe” is a novel by English writer Daniel Defoe that saw the light of day under the considerably longer original title: “The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe; Being the Second and Last Part of His Life, And of the Strange Surprising Accounts of his Travels Round three Parts of the Globe.”
Like its significantly more popular predecessor published also in 1719, “Robinson Crusoe” (AKA “The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe”), the first edition credits the work's fictional protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author.
The story is speculated to be partially based on Moscow embassy secretary Adam Brand's journal detailing the embassy's journey from Moscow to Peking from 1693 to 1695.

“The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe” starts with the statement about Crusoe's marriage in England. He bought a little farm in Bedford and had three children: two sons and one daughter. Our hero suffered a distemper and a desire to see "his island." He could talk of nothing else, and one can imagine that no one took his stories seriously, except his wife. She told him, in tears, "I will go with you, but I won't leave you." But in the middle of this felicity, Providence unhinged him at once, with the loss of his wife...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    With every word she writes, Heather Vardon hopes to inspire children to speak their truth, cherish their individuality, and believe in the beauty of being exactly who they are. 
    In the vibrant world of Petal Valley, where butterflies dance beneath golden skies, Willy Discovers His Voice is a tender tale of finding courage, embracing uniqueness, and discovering the strength within. 
    Willy is a quiet soul with bright blue wings and even brighter dreams. While others laugh and play, he watches from afar - longing to join, but unsure if he belongs. Through moments of doubt and whispers of hope, Willy learns that true bravery isn’t about being loud and bold, it is about being true to yourself. 
    With lyrical charm and heartfelt rhymes, this story celebrates every child’s journey toward self-expression, kindness, and connection. It’s a gentle reminder that even the softest voice has the power to rise, and that sometimes, even the hardest hearts, like Hank’s, can bloom with friendship. 
    A love letter to empathy, growth, and the quiet strength inside us all, this book invites readers young and old to walk the path of compassion, where no one is left behind and every heart finds its rhythm. 
    “My purpose, and the intention behind my books, is to guide others from the very beginning to look within themselves and embrace their unique selves and authenticity. We need to become aware and reflect on our own inner child and heal ourselves in order to raise our next generation with love, free of our expectations and demands of society. When we do this, we break free from the chains of our own upbringing and societal programming allowing our children to become their authentic selves unapologetically, and we as parents find who we truly are among the process.” 
    ~Heather Vardon

    Project Hush by William Tenn - The biggest job in history and it had to be done with complete secrecy. It was—which was just the trouble! 
    I guess I'm just a stickler, a perfectionist, but if you do a thing, I always say, you might as well do it right. Everything satisfied me about the security measures on our assignment except one—the official Army designation. 
    Project Hush. 
    I don't know who thought it up, and I certainly would never ask, but whoever it was, he should have known better. Damn it, when you want a project kept secret, you don't give it a designation like that! You give it something neutral, some name like the Manhattan and Overlord they used in World War II, which won't excite anybody's curiosity. 
    But we were stuck with Project Hush and we had to take extra measures to ensure secrecy. A couple of times a week, everyone on the project had to report to Psycho for DD & HA—dream detailing and hypnoanalysis—instead of the usual monthly visit. Naturally, the commanding general of the heavily fortified research post to which we were attached could not ask what we were doing, under penalty of court-martial, but he had to be given further instructions to shut off his imagination like a faucet every time he heard an explosion. Some idiot in Washington was actually going to list Project Hush in the military budget by name! It took fast action, I can tell you, to have it entered under Miscellaneous "X" Research. 
    Well, we'd covered the unforgivable blunder, though not easily, and now we could get down to the real business of the project. You know, of course, about the A-bomb, H-bomb and C-bomb because information that they existed had been declassified. You don't know about the other weapons being devised—and neither did we, reasonably enough, since they weren't our business—but we had been given properly guarded notification that they were in the works.

    In today's society it is easy for adults and children alike to get swept up in social media expectations around what somebody should look like. It is also incredibly easy to jump to conclusions and make judgements about others.  
      
    Jake the Crocodile is about taking a step back to not only look at the outside of a person (or crocodile!) but what is on the inside.  
      
    It is more important than ever to teach our children to be empathic and Jake will form a special place in your child's heart so they stop and think about their judgements of other people and take the opportunity to see past external appearances to open a whole new world of opportunity for friendship.  
      
    Imagine a world where we didn't judge and people were valued for their individual characteristics. Jake will help your child see that there is beauty in everyone, if you just take the time to look.
