About the author

Wilkie Collins (1824–1889) was an English novelist, playwright, and short-story writer. Born in London, he first studied for a career in business and law before turning to literature. His first published book was a biography of his father, the landscape painter William Collins.

Collins became one of the leading Victorian writers of “sensation” fiction, a genre built around crime, scandal, hidden identities, and suspense. The Woman in White, published in 1859–1860, brought him wide recognition, while The Moonstone (1868) is often regarded as an early modern detective novel.

He was also a close friend and longtime collaborator of Charles Dickens, contributing to Dickens’s journals and working with him on stories and plays. Collins continued writing across many genres until his death in London on September 23, 1889.
