Daniel Defoe was a British writer who wrote the famous novel "Robinson Crusoe." This was the first of a remarkable series of novels and other fictional writings.
This is considered the first of the English novels and awarded Dafoe with the title of "founder" of the genre.
When reading a work of creative nonfiction, it is important to remember the story is true. This means the author does not have as much artistic freedom as a fiction writer or poet might, because they cannot invent events which did not happen.
