Robinson Crusoe on Mars was written by a college student.
 The story has been thought to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called "Ms a Tierra" (now part of Chile) which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966
Jacques Offenbach wrote an opra comique called Robinson Cruso, which was first performed at the Opra-Comique in Paris on 23 November 1867
