Robinson Crusoe, published in 1719, was Defoe’s first novel and survives as his best-known work. Loosely based on a true account of a Scottish sailor—Alexander Selkirk—it is a tale of one man’s fall from grace and progress to redemption. The account of Crusoe’s life, scratched out with rationed indigo ink on a dwindling supply of paper salvaged from the hull of a wrecked ship, speaks eloquently of the tenacity and ingenuity of the human spirit.

Among the first espionage thrillers and an acknowledged classic, The Thirty-Nine Steps well deserves its accolades as one of the best adventure stories of all time.

This autobiographical story records Stevenson's experiences of travelling in the Cevennes in 1878, accompanied by his... ahem..."trusty" donkey Modestine, who provides many amusing moments.

Allan Quatermain, hero of King Solomon's mines, tells a moving tale of his first wife, the Dutch-born Marie Marais, and the adventures that were linked to her beautiful, tragic history.

Hate and suspicion run high between the home government and the Dutch subjects.

Undoubtedly one of the most celebrated tales of all time, this is both high-octane thriller and fascinating travelogue.
