    Wilkie Collins

    William Wilkie Collins was born in London in 1824, the son of a successful and popular painter. Collins himself demonstrated some artistic talent and had a painting hung in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1849, but his real passion was for writing. On leaving school, he worked in the office of a tea merchant in the Strand but hated it. He left and read law as a student at Lincoln's Inn but already his writing career was flowering. His first novel, Antonina, was published in 1850. In 1851, the same year that he was called to the bar, he met and established a lifelong friendship with Charles Dickens. While Collins' fame rests on his best known works, The Woman in White and The Moonstone, he wrote over thirty books, as well as numerous short stories, articles and plays. He was a hugely popular writer in his lifetime. Collins was an unconventional individual: he never married but established long term liaisons with two separate households. He died in 1889.

      What a great original story. It moved right along with nary a dull moment. Unfortunately, there was one female narrator towards the end that stumbled and mispronounced approximately 20% of the words and another that followed her with a good amount of garbled speech so much so that I almost went to the hard copy and read those chapters. I realize that all readers for Librivox are volunteers but where were the volunteer proof listeners and volunteer editors.

      Good story. Some of the accents were tough to listen to, but good story

      Another ‘suspenseful’ book by Collins. Unfortunately there is a female reader beginning Book six that sounds drunk. Seriously. I understand that these are volunteers for LibriVox but you can’t understand what she is saying. Reminds me of listening to someone sitting at a bar that is sloshed!

      This book has a great story line, but there are so many HORRIBLE readers that makes it difficult at times to even understand what is being read. Too bad, because it is a touching story.
