Learn more about Charles Dickens' friend and collaborator, Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) who published dozens of stories, plays and articles in his own right. Penning the popular The Woman In White (1861), Collins excelled at the horror and police genres due to his training as a lawyer. Largely writing under the influence of opium for the last 20 years of his life, Collins lived a strange existence with two women, Martha Rudd and Caroline Graves. He never married, although he is buried with one of his muses.
