When Walter Hartwright encounters a solitary, terrified, beautiful woman dressed in white on a moonlit night in London, he feels impelled to solve the mystery of her distress. The story, full of secrets, locked rooms, lost memories, and surprise revelations, features heroine Marian Halcombe and drawing-master Walter Hartright as sleuthing partners pitted against the diabolical Count Fosco and Sir Percival Glyde. This gothic psychological thriller, a mesmerizing tale of murder, intrigue, madness, and mistaken identity, has gripped the imagination of readers since its first publication in 1860. The breathtaking tension of Collins's narrative created a new literary genre of suspense fiction, which profoundly shaped the course of English popular writing.

From "Career Move," a through-the-looking-glass romp in a world where poets are top dogs fawned over by executives and paid handsomely for their work while screenwriters are doomed to near-obscurity, to "What happened to me on my holiday," a story that created a stir in The New Yorker because of its extraordinary voice exploring a child's first understanding of nature, death, and humanity--all of these stories are vivid, unforgettable, and animated with narrative and imaginative power.

What would happen if a tycoon decided to turn England into a theme park? Before anyone could say "Windsor Castle," replicas of all of the kingdom's great landmarks from the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey to the National Gallery and everything in between all turn up in one place. And what if credit-worthy tourists could escape to this island that permits vast expense accounts and prohibits paparazzi? This hilarious notion is the premise of acclaimed novelist Julian Barnes's (Flaubert's parrot) simultaneously funny and moving comic romp, England, England. The Sunday times (London) raved: "There is no more intelligent writer on the literary scene," and this witty, wistful, thoroughly wonderful book is ample proof.
