What one reviewer at amazon said about Rogue's Life: From His Birth to His Marriage, The; Little Novels: Miss Dulane and My Lord, Mr. Policeman and the Cook (The Works of Wilkie Collins - Volume 30):
Wilkie Collins was known for romance, gothic, and ghost stories, not for comedy. I have no idea why not. Some of the descriptions in his books are funny enough to make you cry. This book is pure humor from start to finish. You love the Rogue. He has such irrepressible good humor in the face of every tragedy, you're bound to take his side in adventures. Even if those adventures include forgery, burglary, and conterfeiting.
