About the Author

Daniel Defoe (c. 1660 – 24 April 1731), born Daniel Foe, was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer and spy, now most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe. He was probably born in Fore Street, in the parish of St. Giles Cripplegate, London. He later added the aristocratic-sounding "De" to his name and on occasion claimed descent from the family of De Beau Faux. In his early life, he experienced some of the most unusual occurrences in English history: in 1665, 70,000 were killed by the Great Plague of London and next year, the Great Fire of London left standing only Defoe's and two other houses in his neighbourhood. In 1667, when he was probably about seven, a Dutch fleet sailed up the Medway via the River Thames and attacked the town of Chatham in the raid on the Medway. His mother Annie had died by the time he was about ten. He entered the world of business as a general merchant and though his ambitions were great and he was able to buy a country estate and a ship, he was rarely out of debt. In 1685, he joined the ill-fated Monmouth Rebellion but gained a pardon, by which he escaped the Bloody Assizes of Judge George Jeffreys. In 1692, he was arrested for debts of £700.
