I loved this biography of Wilkie Collins,I had not realised the kind of life he had,what an upbringing surrounded by so many other artists including his father.
Wish I could have been a fly on the wall at times !
His friendship with Charles Dickens was great and it was so sad they fell out later
It was a shame he did not think things through regarding his will and the effects it would bring simply because he never married and did things legally.
