Hide and Seek - Wilkie Collins

nAt the center of Hide and Seek (1854) a secret waits to be revealed. Why should the apparently respectable painter Valentine Blyth refuse to account for the presence in his household of the beautiful girl known only as Madonna? It is not until his young friend Zack Thorpe--rebelling against his repressive father--takes up with bad company and meets a mysterious stranger that the secret of Madonna can be unravelled. nAbout the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
