As one writer expresses it, ‘It was written for grownâ€"up saints, but happily fell into the hands of little sinners‘ Robinson Crusoe was written to set forth Defoe‘s views on current social and theoâ€" logieal questions. Children have taken the story and. left the theoâ€" logical views to gather dust on the shelves of the past. Swift wrote Gulliver‘s Travels as a political satire. Aesop‘s Fables were intendâ€" ed as moral and political guides for men. Arabian Nights were old, Oriental romances.
