Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins, Volume I (Esprios Classics)

Bag om Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins, Volume I (Esprios Classics)

Robert Paltock (1697- March 20, 1767) was an English novelist and attorney. His most famous work is The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins, a Cornish Man (1751). He became an attorney and lived for some time in Clement's Inn. He then moved, before 1759, to Back Lane, Lambeth. He married Anna Skinner, through whom his son, also named Robert, inherited a small property at Ryme Intrinseca, Dorset. The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins is somewhat on the same plan as Robinson Crusoe, the special feature being the gawry, or flying woman, whom hero discovered on his island, and married. John W. Cousin, author of A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature.
