Castaways: Stories of Survival

(4) 4-6 Six stories describe the experience of being cast away. One man uses sea turtles--as both food and attire--to survive. Another man loses his mind due to isolation. A third fears the fabled skunk ape of the Everglades. Fans of the survival genre will appreciate these tales, though some do not contain much conflict. Lengthy endnotes explain the historic or mythic sources that inspired each story.
