The Monikins
The Monikins is a 1835 novel, written by James Fenimore Cooper. The novel, a beast fable was written between his composition of two of his more famous novels from the Leatherstocking Tales, The Prairie and The Pathfinder.[1] Critic Christina Starobin compares the novels plot to Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels.[1] The novel, narrated by the main character, the English Sir John Goldencalf, is a satirical novel as Goldencalf alongside the American captain Noah Poke, travel on a series of humorous adventures.[2]
The novel is not very popular amongst readers of Cooper.[2] A contemporary critic of the novel in The Knickerbocker, described the novel with great disappointment.[3]
