Green cloth on boards. Hinges cracked and glued. Previous owner's name. Of all the Wilkie Collins titles I have recently listed, this one is the most tempting to be read. The storyteller allows himself to be involved in various dangerous events as a result of accompanying Romayne, the self-centered "hero" of the story, to France as companion to Romayne's aging aunt, who is afraid to cross the Channel. And that's only the beginning ! I suggest you check out internet reviews, and then buy this book ! If you like it you might want to buy the others I have listed. 448 pp. View more info

Original cream and brown cloth on boards. I am confident that this is the true First Edition, since "Connor" was a Presbyterian minister and Westminster was the Presbyterian publishing house. I assume that he would give them the first chance to publish this book, since they had published Black Rock the previous year. Previous owner's name in large, lovely script. No other writing. Lightly cocked. 300 pp. View more info
