Product Description

~~In ***9 an English Ship, called “Ann” was almost wrecked off the north west coast of Ceylon, and the Captain Robert Knox and several members of his crew were tricked and then captured, and imprisoned for almost *0 years until a small group escaped.  In ***0 Robert Knox Junior, published a book in London detailed his life during the *0 years of captivity*.  This book follows the life of three men from the ship’s crew, and their escape to Colombo and London. 

The character ‘Nick’ is my invention, and he lived with Robert Knox and his son, until the father died, and then I added him to the escape party. 

Incidentally, Daniel Defoe, who was a journalist, never went to Ceylon, but it was generally considered at the end of the *7th Century that Robert’s book was the major source of technical inspiration for his classic “Robinson Crusoe”.
