About the author
Born in London in 1824, Wilkie Collins was the son of the painter William Collins. After working in commerce and studying law, he turned to writing and became one of the most popular novelists of the Victorian age.
Collins was a close friend and collaborator of Charles Dickens, and many readers first met his work in serial form. His biggest successes included The Woman in White (1860), No Name (1862), Armadale (1866), and The Moonstone (1868), a novel often praised as an early classic of detective fiction.
What still makes his books stand out is the way they combine suspense with memorable characters and social unease. Collins had a gift for secrets, shifting points of view, and legal or domestic puzzles, and his influence can still be felt in crime writing, thrillers, and psychological fiction today.
