Captain Singelton
As a child, Bob Singleton was kidnapped from his respectable English family, and raised by traveling folk. Eventually, he ventures out to sea, where he is set to begin a life as a pirate.
Daniel Defoe’s Captain Singleton [1720] is a classic adventure novel, likely inspired by the English pirate Henry Every, who lived during the latter part of the 17th century. In the first half of the novel, Singleton and his companions are stranded on Madagascar and then cross the African continent on foot. The second half takes place in the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, with raids in the East Indies before Singleton eventually returns to England.
DANIEL DEFOE [1660-1731] was one of England's most versatile and prolific authors ever: a poet, journalist, political writer, travel writer, and essayist on subjects such as history and economics, among others. He is most renowned for the novels Robinson Crusoe [1719] and - the most critically acclaimed - Moll Flanders [1722].
