Wilkie Collins
William Wilkie Collins was born in London in 1824, the son of a successful and popular painter. Collins himself demonstrated some artistic talent and had a painting hung in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1849, but his real passion was for writing. On leaving school, he worked in the office of a tea merchant in the Strand but hated it. He left and read law as a student at Lincoln's Inn but already his writing career was flowering. His first novel, Antonina, was published in 1850. In 1851, the same year that he was called to the bar, he met and established a lifelong friendship with Charles Dickens. While Collins' fame rests on his best known works, The Woman in White and The Moonstone, he wrote over thirty books, as well as numerous short stories, articles and plays. He was a hugely popular writer in his lifetime. Collins was an unconventional individual: he never married but established long term liaisons with two separate households. He died in 1889.

Jorge Luis Borges no se cansó de repetir a todo aquel que quiso oírle que La Dama de Blanco y La Piedra Lunar, las dos grandes novelas de «Wilkie Collins», pertenecen a la estirpe de los libros inolvidables. El gran poeta Eliot adoraba a ambas. Fitzgerald, insigne traductor y casi inventor de Omar Jayyám, prefería La Dama de Blanco, pero para Swinburne La Piedra Lunar es una obra maestra. El novelista japonés Shusaku Endo declaró que son, de entre todas las escritas a lo largo de la historia, sus dos novelas favoritas. Muchos otros autores de renombre se han pronunciado en idéntico sentido.
¿Cuál es la razón de que escritores tan dispares proclamen unánimemente la bondad de ambos libros? La respuesta habrá de hallarse en el galopante ritmo de la trama, en el equilibrio que alcanza entre la novela de detectives y el melodrama, en los desenlaces imprevisibles, en sus vívidos y humanos personajes (entre ellos Cuff, el primer detective de la literatura británica, en La Piedra Lunar).
«La Piedra Lunar» (la más perfecta novela policíaca, en palabras de Eliot) fue publicada en 1868, y desde entonces ha sido permanentemente reeditada en casi todas las lenguas.
