1876 Robinson Crusoe Adventures Daniel Defoe Shipwreck Illustrated FINE BINDING

“It is never too late to be wise.”

― Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe

“One of the most beautiful travel books in figures of the eighteenth century.” (Gumuchian)

Called the original adventure novel, Robinson Crusoe was originally published in 1719 and depicts the life of a castaway who learns to survive on an island for decades. However, while it saw substantial success with the masses, there were still those that were not impressed. For instance, Charles Dickens said,

“…Robinson Crusoe should be the only instance of a universally popular book that could make no one laugh and could make no one cry.”

Leather-bound editions of ‘Robinson Crusoe’ are considerably rare and this Cassell and Petter edition is no exception. It is beautifully bound in decorative red leather with marbled boards. Note that each page of this edition features a decorative boarder with countless illustrations throughout – truly a remarkable, eye-catching example of one of the most famous pieces of British literature.
