About the author
Daniel Defoe, 1660-1731, was of English descent and considered to be one of the founders of the English novel. While most famous for Robinson Crusoe, he produced more than five hundred books, journals and pamphlets over a wide variety of topics, and helped to popularize economic journalism. Some of his other notable novels include Captain Singleton, Memoirs of a Cavalier, and A Journal of the Plague Year.
Jim Hodges began reading aloud in the second grade with a stirring rendition of Dick and Jane. He continued to volunteer to speak throughout his schooling years, performed as a newscaster while in the Navy, and participated in community theater groups. His wife, Monica, once asked what his dream job would be. He answered, “I’d record books.” And so began Jim Hodges Audio Books, producing unabridged recordings of the G. A. Henty historical novels, children’s books, Overtly Christian titles, and classic literature.
