Wilkie Collins
A portrait of the author in his 44th year (1868)
Written by FREDERICK BRADNUM with Wilkie Collins Haydn Jones
Younger contemporary, friend and colleague of Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins is now chiefly remembered for two novels, The Moonstone and The Woman in White and for one short story, A Terribly Strange Bed. But his life and personality do not deserve to be so totally overshadowed by the greater author: Collins was indeed ' a terribly strange man.'

These are some of the questions Robert McKenzie discusses with Lord Butler of Saffron Walden Rt Hon Roy Jenkins , mp and A. J. P. Taylor
