Description
Wilkie Collins wrote The Fallen Leaves, and his short note to Caroline is dated from Gloucester Place, London, on July 1, 1879. He says the book's design speaks for itself and leaves it to win readers on its own merits.
A prologue comes first, then the story in three books. The hero, Amelius, appears first among socialists, then in London. A third book turns to Mrs. Farnaby's foot, a strange head for a section that hints at hidden shame. Collins builds a tale of a young idealist thrown among wealth, want, and secret pasts.
