I...I have not read The Woman in White or Armadale. I will definitely have to add them to my list, because he's got a great style. Thank you for the info. You're right about his photo, though I didn't even think about it. I know many people also did not smile for photos in the old frontier days in the 1800s because many had rotten teeth and didn't want to advertise that fact. <br />Always nice to hear from you!Reading in the Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205422469750049005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212745789187149362.post-84067168286318784292013-10-17T07:31:59.140-07:002013-10-17T07:31:59.140-07:00I absolute love The Moonstone, I like the way Coll...I absolute love <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/collins-wilkie-moonstone.html" rel="nofollow">The Moonstone</a>, I like the way Collins gives everyone a chance to contribute their part of the story. He does that also in his most famous novel, <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/collins-wilkie-woman-in-white.html" rel="nofollow">The Woman in White</a> and a recently read a third, not as well known novel by him, <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2013/10/collins-wilkie-armadale.html" rel="nofollow">Armadale</a>, also a great read.<br /><br />The reason why he looks so strict in the picture might have been the way pictures were taken, you had to sit still for ages because it took the photographer so long to expose the film. LOL<br /><br />Anyway, I love his writing style. I love English classics, I love all classics but English are the best.<br /><br />Marianne from <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Let's Read</a>Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.com
