Daniel Defoe is most famous for hisclassic novels Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders, but he was also ajournalist, a pamphleteer, a businessman, a spy-and a writer of short stories. His life was long and colorful, and the breadth of his work, still highlyregarded, is infused with similar vigor. In these short stories, Defoesuccinctly emblazons his style upon subjects as diverse as apparitions, pirates, and politics.
