Marie Corelli was a very famous lady novelist of the late 19th and early 20th century. They are romantic novels placed in mysterious settings, written in the overly dramatic style of that Victorian period. There was a re-interest in them during the 60s.
I have a collection of nearly all of them, purchased in old book stores when I lived in England, They are probably 2nd editions dated around 1900 to 1910. They are in reasonably good condition for that age. I was wondering if they are worth anything as collectables.
Thanks, Richard

Hi, richka!

What I have found so far would seem to indicate that novels by her as antiques do have some monetary value, but not a lot as we might hope. If you have a nearly complete collection, then I would think that each of the books as being part of a set would have more monetary value than those that would be valued individually.

I found some that are for sale by performing the following search.
