The Essential Works of Wilkie Collins by Wilkie Collins..This Halcyon Classics ebook contains four novels widely considered to among the best of 19th century British novelist Wilkie Collin's works. Collins (1824-1889) was a hugely popular and prolific writer, producing thirty novels, more than sixty short stories, fourteen plays, and more than a hundred works of non-fiction. While many of Collin's works remain popular, THE WOMAN IN WHITE, NO NAME, ARMADALE, and THE MOONSTONE are considered to be his finest works. Collins was a pioneer of the modern mystery/detective novel, and he also wrote on the plight of women and on the social and domestic issues of his time.



THE MOONSTONE is widely regarded as the precursor of the modern mystery and suspense novels. T. S. Eliot called it "the first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels.. in a genre invented by Collins and not by Poe", and by Dorothy L. Sayers as "probably the very finest detective story ever written."
