1.0 out of 5 stars Free kindle book has portion missing, December 2, 2011

This is a collection of stories held together by a central narrative (think Canterbury Tales) But don't bother downloading this free book. You just get past the preliminary narrative and into the first tale and a large part of the first tale is missing! So you can make absolutely NO sense of the first story. (This was not a download problem because I re-downloaded and the segment was still missing.) Plus the formatting is bad throughout the book, with half lines of print. I reported the missing portion to Amazon and eventually it might get fixed, but for now you can download another copy of this book (Annotated version) for $2 which has a working Table of Contents allowing you to access any of the tales directly. I love Wilkie Collins and this book is worth reading if you are a fan, just skip this free version.

Enjoying English Literature as much as I do, I thoroughly enjoyed this Wilkie Collins collection of short stories. Sure, he's a bit long winded in places, but that just adds a bit more quaintness to the experience.
