About this book
The original salacious story of a bad girl who makes good
These are the fortunes and misfortunes of Moll Flanders: born in Newgate Prison, 12 years a prostitute, five times a wife (once to her own brother), 12 years a thief, and eight years a transported felon in Her Majesty's colony of Virginia. Daniel Defoe's rollicking tale presents life in the prisons, alleyways, and underworlds of 18th-century London, and gives us Moll--scandalous, unscrupulous and utterly irresistible.

About Daniel Defoe
Daniel Defoe, born Daniel Foe, was an English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, who gained enduring fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain, and is even referred to by some as among the founders of the English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than 500 books, pamphlets, and journals on various topics (including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural). He was also a pioneer of economic journalism. ([Source][1]) [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Defoe
