Beyond Belief - The real Life of Daniel Defoe

John Martin is a best-selling Defoe biographer. He reveals for the first time the real life of Defoe, best known for his enormously successful first book, Robinson Crusoe, that has sold in enormous numbers around the world for nearly three hundred years. It is an astonishing life of deceit and personal confusion and every bit as entrancing as the pirates, courtesans, pimps and criminals who crowd his pages.
