(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Oct. 5, 2015)
The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders (commonly known simply as Moll Flanders) is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1722. It purports to be the true account of the life of the eponymous Moll, detailing her exploits from birth until old age. Born in Newgate Prison, twelve years a prostitute, five times a wife (once to her own brother), twelve years a thief and eight years an exiled convict in Her Majesty's colony of Virginia. Daniel Defoe's amazing tale presents life in the prisons, alleyways and underworlds of eighteenth-century London, and gives us Moll - scandalous, unscrupulously cunning and utterly irresistible. The novel was the basis of a musical that premiered in 1993 and has been adapted for the screen several times.
