A Reader's Guide to Wilkie Collins & 'The Moonstone'

When Wilkie Collins sat down to write The Moonstone the detective novel did not exist as a literary form. His spellbinding tale of romance, theft, and murder inspired this popular genre.
The Moonstone of the title is an enormous Hindu diamond that waxes and wanes in brilliance along with the light of the moon. When a young English woman inherits the Moonstone on her eighteenth birthday a period of turmoil, unhappiness, misunderstandings and ill luck ensues. As the fate of the diamond is traced, the enthralling interplay of characters will hook you in.
I first read The Moonstone as a teenager, after an adaptation of it had been on TV. I went on to read a few of his other books, but this one has always been my favourite. I hope you enjoy your trip into a murky world of diamonds, thwarted passion, secrets and shaky ground.

A Reader's Guide to Jerome K. Jerome & 'Three Men in a Boat'
$5.00Jerome K. Jerome wrote one of the funniest and best-loved books in the English language, Three Men in a Boat and spawned a mini tourist industry on the Thames River. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do – that you revel in its comedy, sigh over its hopeless young men, picture the wonderful river scenery that conjures up so much English history, laugh over its eccentricities, and of course never forget that dog, one of the best dogs in literature.

A Reader's Guide to Guy de Maupassant and 'The Necklace'
$5.00I love The Necklace! I have lectured on it, thought about its greatness and how much can be achieved within such a short work. Guy de Maupassant was a chronicler for his time, but a writer for all time – his stories touch on truths about the human condition. For many, he is the finest short story writer the world has ever known!
