A beautiful deluxe gift edition of the great Victorian mystery novel with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon.

Marian and the girls' drawing master, Walter, must turn detective to unravel the mysteries and protect Laura from a potentially fatal plot...

About the Author

Wilkie Collins was born in London on 8 January 1824. His father was the landscape painter William Collins. After school he worked for a tea merchant before studying to become a lawyer. In 1848 he published a biography of his father and his first novel, Antonina, followed in 1850. In 1851 he met Charles Dickens who would later edit and publish some of his novels. Collins's novels were extremely popular in his own time as well as now. The Woman in White (1859), No Name (1862), Armadale (1866) and The Moonstone (1868) are his best known works. Collins was linked with two women (one of whom bore him three children) but he never married. He died on 23 September 1889.
