　　《白衣女人》这是一部侦探小说。画家哈特莱特与富家少女劳拉·弗尔利坠入情网；然而劳拉早被亡父许给了风流倜傥的珀斯威尔爵士。一个晚上，哈特莱特在路上偶遇一位长相酷似劳拉的白衣女子，她刚逃出疯人院。她宣称掌握珀斯威尔爵士的一桩可怕罪行，并警造说劳拉与珀斯威尔结婚会是极其危险的。紧接着，哈特莱特发现他在伦敦被跟踪，生命受到威胁……
　　威尔基·柯林斯(Wilkie Collins)，于1824年1月8日生于伦敦，1889年9月23日死在伦敦。父亲是个风景画家。他12岁时随父母迁居意大利，三年后回国，就读于海伯里私立寄宿学校，曾在茶叶公司工作，后改学法律，在伦敦林肯法学协会当过律师。1847年，父亲死后，他才开始以写作为生。第一部作品是《威廉·柯林斯》传，不久就从事小说创作。一开始成绩平平，后来他结识了当代文豪狄更斯，成为莫逆之交，并为狄更斯主编的，当时最风行的杂志经常撰稿。他的长篇小说往往在这本杂志上先发表，然后出单行本。这期间他写了不少小说，大都以侦破犯罪事件为题材，柯林斯即以此种小说蜚声社会，享誉30余年，但他作品虽多，而得以流传后世并得到肯定的仅有《月亮宝石》和成名作《白衣女人》两部。

　　《理发师陶德》的故事至今已经有了一百七十多年的历史了。这个故事最早出现在19世纪30年代的英国，小说出版后很快就被改编成了伦敦舞台剧。该剧不仅风靡一时，而且成了经久不息的舞台经典。直到一百四十年后也就是20世纪70年代左右，伦敦人仍旧在舞台上讲述理发师陶德的故事。
　　而今天理发师陶德故事早已成为一个大人用来吓唬不听话的小孩的传奇，很多人不知是确有其人抑或是彻头彻尾的杜撰。
　　真正的斯文尼·陶德确实存在于18世纪末的伦敦，他所杀的人不计其数，被害者的肉被剔除下来送到当时伦敦著名的拉维特夫人的肉饼店卖给伦敦人，仍然新鲜的骨骼被抛弃在陈旧的圣邓斯坦教堂的地下室被人遗忘的墓室之中，骨骼之多，能从地板一直堆到墓室穹隆，骨头上剩余的肉散发出来的令人作呕腐臭弥漫整座教堂，使得做礼拜的人们不得不自始至终用手帕捂住鼻子。斯文尼·陶德和黑寡妇拉维特，将人类最深层的恐惧——对他人示以自己最薄弱的环节时被杀，以及刚刚品尝过的美味居然是同类的尸体。”

内容简介
　　Introduction and Notes by Scott Brewster, University of Central Lancashire Wilkie Collins is a master of mystery, and The Woman in White is his first excursion into the genre. When the hero, Walter Hartright, on a moonlit night in north London, encounters a solitary, terrified and beautiful woman dressed in white, he feels impelled to solve the mystery of her distress. The intricate plot is peopled with a finely characterised cast, from the peevish invalid Mr Fairlie to the corpulent villain Count Fosco and the enigmatic woman herself.
作者介绍
　　WILKIE COLLINS (1824-1889) studied law and was admitted to the bar but never practiced. Instead, he devoted his time to writing and is best known for his novels The Woman in White, No Name, Armadale, and The Moonstone, which has been called the finest detective story ever written. A number of his works were collaborations with his close friend, Charles Dickens. The Woman in White so gripped the imagination of the world that Wilkie Collins had his own tombstone inscribed: Author of The Woman in White. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The one great mystery that has surrounded the book is who theauthor was - or was it possibly the work of more than one man? Inhis new introduction to this fully revised second edition, DickCollins, by means of detailed research of contemporary records, hasestablished finally the identity of the creator of this legendaryfigure. So here is the original story of the terrifying owner ofthat famous London barber-shop, and the secret recipe for MrsLovett s delicious pies...
