Madams by Moonlight: Willkie Collins’s The Woman in White, ’60s style!

Wilkie Collins’s groundbreaking multi-narrative Victorian thriller The Woman in White (not to be confused with the Susan Hill novel The Woman in Black!), originally published in the good old days of 1860, here reprinted in 1966 by Paperback Library, over one hundred years later! Proudly proclaiming its status as a ‘Paperback Library Gothic’ (along with a load of written-for-the-market chintz that would have accompanied it at the time), this stunning edition features one of the gorgeous full-colour paintings that graced this series. Amazingly, it still has the 1/6 d sticker from Boots (at a time when they sold actual books!) on the bottom right of the cover. Abridged as it is, I absolutely love this version, and think you will too.
