eBooks di Wilkie Collins editi da Classic Mystery

Wilkie William Collins (Londra, 8 gennaio 1824 – Londra, 23 settembre 1889) è stato uno scrittore inglese, amico e collaboratore di Charles Dickens. La sua produzione letteraria, e in particolare quella fantastica, è di assoluto rilievo, ma non vi è dubbio che a tutt'oggi sia maggiormente conosciuto dal grande pubblico per i romanzi gialli La donna in bianco, La Pietra di Luna, La legge e la signora e La follia dei Monkton. Questo senza nulla togliere ai molti altri romanzi e ai numerosissimi racconti da lui scritti. G.K. Chesterton ebbe una volta modo di scrivere relativamente a Dickens e Collins: "Erano due uomini che nessuno può superare nello scrivere storie di fantasmi".
