The crazy survival story of Alexander Selkirk, the original castaway, and the real Robinson Crusoe. Alexander Selkirk was born in Lower Largo, in the East Neuk of Fife, but ran off to sea and became a privateer. He was marooned on an island for four years and four months, at his own request, and finally rescued in 1709. His story is one of grit, survival and sheer bloody mindedness, and a real-life inspiration for Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, arguably the first novel in the English language.
