{"product_id":"robinson-crusoe-daniel-defoe","title":"Robinson Crusoe Daniel Defoe","description":"Daniel Dafoe's classic tale of Robinson Crusoe as retold by Jane Carruth. By Award Publications of London. Robinson Crusoe's author was born in London in 1660; as soon as he was old enough to earn a living he embarked on a career, first as a soldier - he took part in Monmouth's rebellion in 1685 - and later as a merchant adventurer and spy. On one of his journeys abroad he was, like his famous hero, actually captured by pirates! In later life he became a journalist and wrote many books, some of them of a political nature, though today he is mainly remembered for his vivid tale of the castaway. When he died in 1731, Defoe was already widely recognized as a successful novelist and an important influence in the history of English journalism.","brand":"Wide World Maps \u0026 MORE!","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50332696477933,"sku":"RKV-38.AwardRobinsonCrusoe","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1137\/1156\/files\/61c6bRUYJhL.jpg?v=1784967405","url":"https:\/\/maps4u.com\/products\/robinson-crusoe-daniel-defoe","provider":"Wide World Maps \u0026 MORE!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
