Stoneshaper
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."
