BASIL
“Basil, a man of high station, falls in love with Margaret Sherwin, the daughter of a linen draper, and the year following their secret marriage is fraught with dramatic conflict. This psychologically penetrating story of love and loss is recognized today as one of, if not the, first sensation novels of the nineteenth century.” J Eddy
HIDE AND SEEK
Collins gives us a slice of Victorian life and a not-so-mysterious mystery, but it's a charming book with characters that just pop off the page. This is not a stuffy moralising book, but a tale told wonderfully well, utterly charming and, at times, laugh out loud funny.” Violet
THE DEAD SECRET
“The book develops the reader’s curiosity and suspense beautifully and keeps you guessing as to what the secret could be and whether it will be discovered.” Jo, The Classic Book Club
AFTER DARK
His first collection of short stories. “Wilkie Collins scandalised Victorian Britain with his ‘sensationalist novels’ about fallen women, marital bigamy and illegitimacy.” Daily Mail
THE WOMAN IN WHITE
“One of the thousand novels everyone must read . . . the greatest and most inspirational of the Victorian sensation novels,” The Guardian
NO NAME
“Instead of bowing to circumstances when she is disinherited, 18-year-old Magdalen Vanstone in No Name (1862) uses her physical charms to take revenge on the family that reduced her to penury. “ Daily Telegraph
ARMADALE
“I thought this was a fantastic read! It was written to be serialized in a magazine, I believe. And it really has that serial/cliffhanger feel to it. After reading the first 100 pages, I felt like I had already read an entire thriller. Collins writes like a contemporary thriller writer- John Grisham, Stephen King, etc. He is so accessible, it is hard to remember he was writing at the same time as Dickens. ” Johnna
THE MOONSTONE
“One of the hundred best novels.” The Guardian
"The first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels in a genre invented by Collins.” T.S Eliot
"Probably the very finest detective story ever written.” Dorothy L. Sayers
"Probably the best detective tale in the world." G. K. Chesterton
