Robinson Crusoe

1719 novel by Daniel Defoe. Said by some to be the first novel in English.
Obviously I'd heard of it plenty, but sometime in 2011/2012 I noticed that I had read nothing earlier than Jane Austen and Mary Shelley and began wondering about how novels began. I found out that Robinson Crusoe was one of the earliest novels. On September 23rd 2013 I was looking round a bookshop in Retford, found it available on offer and bought it for £3.50.
