Summary
Collins writes: "It is not easy to tell you which is my 'favourite work' -- I must own that I have three favourites. They are written by the three Kings of Fiction: Walter Scott. Fenimore Cooper. Balzac. And they are called: The Antiquary. The Deerslayer. Le Pére Goriot. There is my 'Confession of Literary Faith.'"
