Synopsis

In 1753, the French settlers named the region Arcadia, or 'beloved home'. The British arrived and fought with the French, and eventually both settled in Arcadia, living separate lives, and rarely speaking to anyone from the other side. And then there was a chance encounter in a meadow of wildflowers.

About this title

About the Author

Daniel Defoe (c. 1660 – 24 April 1731), born Daniel Foe, was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer, and spy. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations. Defoe is noted for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Aphra Behn and Samuel Richardson, and is among the founders of the English novel. He was a prolific and versatile writer, producing more than three hundred works – books, pamphlets, and journals – on diverse topics, including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology, and the supernatural. He was also a pioneer of economic journalism.
