The Moonstone readalong - the tour of my copy!

 

I greet you, fellow Wilkie enthusiasts. It's November! So all this waiting is finally over and we can sink into our books without feeling any guilt.

 

In this post I shall introduce my copy of The Moonstone!

 

 

 

 

This is what it looks like, it is from the series called Oneworld Classics, of which I heard for the first time. But the book doesn't look too shabby, so maybe I can stumble upon some other books from this series in the bookshop. (Also, it was a lot cheaper than, say, Penguin Classics edition.)

 

 

The length of the story itself is 460 pages and there are several nifty additions to the story, such as

* photos of Wilkie, his family, his women, and his home (see photo above);

* preface, x2;

* notes on the text;

* extra material: Wilkie Collins's life, Wilkie Collins's works, Adaptations, Select bibliography, Acknowledgments (by the publisher) and the list of Oneworld Classics books.

 

 

This edition was published in 2007.
