My Miscellanies (Barnes & Noble Digital Library‪)‬

This collection represents the common themes of Wilkie Collins’s writings: light-hearted stories, serious social commentary, and historical narratives. They range in subject from groaning over boring fiction to accounts of battles. The 24 essays and short fictions include many originally published in periodicals, such as “The Poisoned Meal” and “Memoirs of an Adopted Son.”
