I live in a beautiful village by the sea in Scotland.

Lower Largo is a very beautiful coastal village in the East Neuk of Fife. It’s appropriate that Bessy lives there as Largo is a musical term and lower suits her voice! Also, although it is a small place, it was the home to a very famous character from a book written 300 years ago…Robinson Crusoe!

Robinson travelled a lot, just like Bessy, but he did most of it by boat as he was in the Navy. Unfortunately he became shipwrecked after a storm and had to live alone on a tropical island a long way from home for 28 years! “Robinson Crusoe” The book was written by Daniel Defoe 300 years ago.
