Published in 1868, we found out tonight, some or much, I’m not sure which, was written whilst Wilkie was under the influence of laudanum. Much of the text is long winded which may be due to the novel first appearing as a serial in Charles Dickens’ magazine ‘All the year round’ or due to the author being under influence of the drug.

The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins was generally thought by clubbers not as good as the ‘Woman in white’ which we read and enjoyed many years ago.
