Charles Dickens inspired affection from fellow author Wilkie Collins - but also some biting criticism.
From the time they first met while acting in a play, the Victorian novelists Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins were apparently the best of friends. However, the records of a book which has been missing for more than a century reveal there was more to their relationship than met the eye.
However, following The Woman in White writer's death in September 1889 his feelings about his old friend's writing prowess came to light in an annotated copy of a Dickens biography, which Collins had tucked away in his library. "It was quite a complicated relationship and changed over time," she says, explaining how Collins had begun almost as Dickens's mentee before gaining independence from him later.Collins would visit Dickens at his home at Gad's Hill in Kent
