c1900 Life & Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe Danial Defoe Antique Fiction Book

The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe of York Mariner
By Daniel Defoe
Published by Ward, Lock And Co: London c1900 (undated - Prize Plate Dated 1908)
Carries A Prize Plate From The Borough of Swindon Education Committee

"This attractive early 20th-century edition of The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe presents Daniel Defoe's enduring tale of shipwreck, survival and self-reliance in a classic Ward, Lock & Co. format prized by Edwardian readers. First published in 1719 and widely regarded as the first English novel, Robinson Crusoe follows the mariner of York through his dramatic maritime misfortunes, culminating in his long isolation on a remote island where ingenuity, faith and perseverance become the keys to his survival. The narrative remains powerful for its blend of adventure, moral reflection and Defoe's remarkable realism, elements that helped secure Crusoe's place among the most influential characters in world literature.

This copy features a finely embossed decorative cloth binding and a detailed frontispiece illustration capturing the domestic solitude of Crusoe in his island dwelling. It carries a fascinating provenance in the form of a 1908 Borough of Swindon Education Committee prize plate, awarded for "Regular and Punctual Attendance," adding human history to a timeless story. An appealing example for readers, collectors of classic literature and admirers of early illustrated editions of Defoe's iconic adventure."
