The Queen of Hearts
Collins’ collection of 10 short stories with one connecting narrative is’ The Queen of Hearts,’ the school nickname of Jessie, who is staying with her guardian. Griffith, a lawyer, lives with his two brothers, a clergyman and a doctor, in an isolated house in South Wales. However, not all is as it seems, and love is in the air to complicate matters. He is studied widely; new film, television, and radio versions of some of his books have been made, and all of his letters have been published. However, there is still much to be discovered about this superstar of Victorian fiction.
