Poor Miss Finch by Wilkie Collins, Fiction, Classics, Literary 12+

📙 I subscribe to the article of belief which declares, that the conditions of human happiness are independent of bodily affliction, and that it is even possible for bodily affliction itself to take its place among the ingredients of happiness. These are the views which "Poor Miss Finch" is intended to advocate -- and this is the impression which I hope to leave on the mind of the reader when the book is closed. -- W. C., January 16th, 1872.
