Wilkie Collins's collection of fourteen short stories published, after revision, in 1887. Unlike Collins's earlier collections, After Dark (1856) and The Queen of Hearts (1859), there is no connecting narrative but most of the stories revolve around the theme of love and marriage, frequently across the social barriers of class and money. Some also include supernatural or detective elements. The original titles and publication details are given in parentheses.
