Three lively retellings of Daniel Defoe’s classic novels, plus two bonus programmes about his extraordinary life and far-reaching influence.

Robinson Crusoe and his Farther Adventures
An imaginative blend of the famous castaway tale and its lesser-known sequel, this thrilling drama sees Crusoe setting sail for the far north. Facing danger in the Siberian wastes, he keeps terror at bay by telling his companions campfire tales of his many adventures on his beloved island. Starring Tim McInnerney as Crusoe.

Moll Flanders
When Daniel Defoe meets Elizabeth Atkins in Newgate jail, she recounts her stranger-than-fiction story of a rags-to-riches life that took her from prostitution to prosperity – but culminated in destitution. Inspired, Defoe mixes fact and fiction to re-invent her as one of his most engaging characters: Moll Flanders. Starring Ben Miles as Defoe and Jessica Hynes as Elizabeth Atkins.

A Journal of the Plague Year
Writing a fictional journal of the Great Plague of 1665, Defoe soon comes to be haunted by the characters he is conjuring. Starring Ben Miles as Defoe.

This exciting new collection of reinvented tales will also include two bonus programmes about Daniel Defoe himself:

Defoe: Merchant, Writer, Convict, Spy by Philip Palmer - A biographical drama about Defoe’s life, starring Ben Miles as Defoe and Niamh Cusack as his wife Mary.

Defoe: The Facts and Fictions - A documentary by Mark Lawson, exploring the far-reaching influence of the pioneering author.

A well dramatised insight into three of Defoe's most popular novels plus a short biography of the man. Good narration, sound effects and a sprinkling of realistic humour make for a very pleasing listen.

Delightful Defoe

An interesting and entertaining contemporary adaptation of Daniel Defoe's most famous novels. Brilliantly brought to life through first class narration and dramatisation.
Moll Flanders is excellent, but Robinson Crusoe and His Farther Adventures, is not as great. A Journal of the Plague Year is quite interesting and grim. Overall, a good collection of stories.

Entertaining.

Of the plays in this collection, by far the best is the one about rather than by Defoe as it’s the only one not drenched in irony - bearably so in the case of Robinson Crusoe but not Moll Flanders. Perhaps other listeners will enjoy its liberal use of such anachronisms as “my bad”, “talk to the hand”, “munter”, “bling”, “bonkathon”, “premium economy” and “kryptonite” but I just found them jarring.
