{"product_id":"robinson-crusoe-by-daniel-defoe","title":"Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobinson Crusoe | Gilded Pocket Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobinson Crusoe is one of the great adventure stories in the English language, and this edition treats it as such. Shipwrecked and washed ashore alone, Crusoe spends over thirty years building a life from nothing on a deserted island, until a single footprint in the sand proves he isn't as alone as he believed. First published in 1719 and loosely inspired by the real-life castaway Alexander Selkirk, the novel still works as a survival story, a spiritual reckoning and a genuine page-turner, depending on what you're reading it for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular edition is part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, and it's built to be kept rather than read once and shelved. The cover carries a gold foil-embossed design, the page edges are gilded, and the paper inside is a deluxe ivory stock that gives the whole book a weight and finish well beyond its pocket size. The endpapers are designed to match the rest of the book rather than left blank, and the text itself is the full, unabridged novel, not a trimmed-down retelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 165 x 105 x 17mm and 288 pages, it's genuinely pocket-sized, small enough to slip into a bag or coat pocket but substantial enough to feel like a proper hardback in the hand. That makes it a natural gift for a reader who already owns a battered paperback copy from school and would appreciate an edition worth keeping on a shelf, or for anyone who likes their classics to look as good as they read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Daniel Defoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback, gilded pocket edition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages: \u003c\/strong\u003e288\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 165 x 105 x 17mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eText: \u003c\/strong\u003eComplete and unabridged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/strong\u003eGold foil-embossed cover, gilded page edges, deluxe ivory paper, designed endpapers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quiet, well-made edition of a book that's earned its place as a classic, and one that looks the part as a gift.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcturus Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46389861154951,"sku":"9781398851092","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/Robinson_Crusoe_by_Daniel_Defoe.png?v=1793501578","url":"https:\/\/thestraywhisker.com.au\/products\/robinson-crusoe-by-daniel-defoe","provider":"The Stray Whisker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
