Dickory Cronke, born dumb, suddenly gains the power of speech near the end of his life and uses his last weeks to set down his meditations, an abstract of his faith and his observations on the world. The preface insists the narrative is true, in the manner of Defoe’s other fictions.
A curious short work from 1719, the year of Robinson Crusoe, for collectors of Defoe. Download the free EPUB.
