About this book
The Woman in White famously opens with Walter Hartright's eerie encounter on a moonlit London road.
Engaged as a drawing master to the beautiful Laura Fairlie, Walter is drawn into the sinister intrigues of Sir Percival Glyde and his 'charming' friend Count Fosco, who has a taste for white mice, vanilla bonbons and poison.
