Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.
Would The Odyssey and Beowulf count here?
Some of the Icelandic Chronicles are fun.
Quite a number of The Canterbury Tales probably count as adventure, though not as a novel I suppose.
The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas.
The Black Stallion by Walter Farley.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis.
Daniel,
Very good choices!
I'd meant to put in Beowulf. The Odyssey is a major omission.
Thanks!
Michael
