作者簡介：

Daniel Defoe was born in London, probably in 1660, but nobody knows the exact date. His father James Foe was not rich, but he was hard-working. He made and sold candles before becoming a butcher. Daniel added ‘De’ to his surname when he was older.
Defoe started his working life as a merchant. He bought and sold many different things and travelled a lot in Britain and all over the world. When his business failed in about 1703, he decided to become a writer.
His book Robinson Crusoe (1719) was one of the first novels written in English and was very popular in both England and in Europe. In the same year he wrote another book called The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. He died in 1731.
