Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924), best known for The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, and Little Lord Fauntleroy, wrote this 1922 novel about a group of pre-WWI English nobles and commoners with some pointed political and social commentary. Her sequel, Robin, completes the story of Robin, Lord Coombe.

Admirers of Mrs. Burnett's "The Good Wolf'' will welcome a continuation of many of its characters in "Barty Crusoe," together with a host of new ones, such as the little monkey, "Saturday," the "Perfectly Polite Pirates," and their preceptor, "Baboo Bajorum," a gorilla who made them polite! Imagine a small boy who, reading "Robinson Crusoe," was able immediately to test some of the adventures through the kindly aid of the '' Good Wolf!''
