The Collector Wiki

Welcome to New Wiki Name
This wikia is based on the 1965 movie William Wyler's The Collector, and the 1963 novel of the same name by John Fowles.

The Collector is the story of two people. Freddie Clegg, a twenty eight year old repressed butterfly collector and bank clerk, and twenty year old art student Miranda Grey. Miranda has been the obsession of Freddie's for years, but he never had the courage to introduce himself to her. Things change when Freddie wins a small fortune in a football pool, and uses the money to plan Miranda's abduction. He buys a country house, equips a hidden cellar with all the comforts of home, and then stalks the unaware Miranda. His efforts are rewarded when he catches her off guard with a pad soaked in chloroform, and so begins what has been called "Almost a Love Story."
