Little Novels

"Little Novels" isn't quite a "Little Women" spin-off, as the title might suggest. While you won't be treated to Timothée Chalamet, you will be treated to fourteen short stories – or little novels (ah now the title makes sense). Wilkie Collins loved writing thrillers about characters proposing marriage who get caught up in dramatic circumstances and must solve a mystery. The thrilling mystery-solving element is the foundations of modern detective novels. While these little novels are true to Collins's style, they are unique and captivating stand-alone stories. There's even some supernatural and some social commentary thrown in there. A haunted priest, a sea captain falling in love in Polynesia, a princess falling in love with a secretary, the unsolved murder of a sleepwalker's husband – these short stories will immerse you in a Victorian world of intrigue, romance, and male suitors who you might imagine looking like Timothée Chalamet.
