 R. Drury's soujourn in Madagascar November 21, 1998
Radoko (Tanzania)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Having been raised and then later worked in southern Madagascar, this book could not have been a rewrite of "Robinson Crusoe" as has been often been the critique of this rare jewel. You can find a copy of this rare book in the Western Bank Library of the U Of Minnesota. A must for any serious anthropologist studying southern Madagascar culture!

Robert Drury or Defoe April 3, 2005
Mr. S. M. Rogers (Bournemouth, Dorset U.K.)
Considered by John Robert Moore as a work by Daniel Defoe and contested by A. W. Secord (with the discovery of a real Robert Drury). This work is important not just because its investigation into Madagascar, but because it has been wrongly given as the work of Drury. It was transcribed by Defoe from meetings with Drury. See Moore "Defoe in the Pilory and Other Studies."
