Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents. Crusoe sets sail from the Queen's Dock in Hull on a sea voyage in August 1651, against the wishes of his parents, who want him to pursue a career. After a tumultuous journey where his ship is wrecked in a storm, his lust for the sea remains so strong that he sets out to sea again. This journey, too, ends in disaster, as the ship is taken over by Sale pirates and Crusoe is enslaved by a Moor.
 
Very nice antique condition. Brownish green cloth boards. Very well taken care of through the years. Previous owners name inside cover. Old price. Note the soiling on endpapers and ends on next page. Elsewise extremely clean and nice, very slight bumped corners and spine ends. Gift worthy condition. Or a very nice edition to your Eclectic readers collection.
