This little-known historical drama by the author of Robinson Crusoe is set during the English civil war and told in first-person with attention to detail, describing the minutiae of the life of a 17th-century well-to-do British cavalier and soldier. Sean Criseden’s matter-of-fact performance gives this audiobook the feel of an actual cavalier's memoirs and not a work of fiction, which is exactly the stylistic device Defoe was attempting. An interesting mix of a coming-of-age tale and history lesson, this audiobook will be a pleasure for anyone interested in European royalty and its battles.
