Blurb: 
Godfrey Morgan, also published as School for Robinsons (French: L'École des Robinsons), is an adventure novel by French writer Jules Verne first published in 1882. It tells of a young adventurer, Godfrey Morgan, and his deportment instructor, Professor Tartlett, who embark on a round-the-world ocean voyage. Their ship is wrecked and they are cast away on a remote island, where they rescue and befriend an African slave, Carefinotu.

The novel is a robinsonade - a play on Daniel Defoe's 1791 novel Robinson Crusoe.
