About this book

Dickory Cronke, a tinner's son from Cornwall, is presented as a real man who was born dumb on 29 May 1660, the day Charles II was restored, and stayed without speech for fifty-eight years. The title page promises memoirs of his life, a statement of his faith with meditations, and prophecies about Europe and Britain for 1720 to 1729, followed by an elegy and an epitaph. A preface assures readers that the source papers exist. The title page is dated London, 1719.

Daniel Defoe

Four books here, and only two of them were signed. Robinson Crusoe appeared in 1719 as the account of a mariner of York, written by himself, and readers took that literally for a while.
