The Collector Summary
The Collector tells the story of Frederick Clegg, a man in his mid-20s who grows obsessed with Miranda Grey, a beautiful teenager whom he watches from afar. Clegg is an amateur entomologist and is especially devoted to collecting butterflies. After he wins a lot of money in a sports betting system known as the football pools, he takes the steps necessary to kidnap Miranda, though at the time he tells himself that he is not necessarily preparing to abduct her. By this time Miranda is a 20 year-old art student in London. Clegg buys a secluded house in the country and readies a small basement room as an inescapable cell; he also buys a van with which to follow and snatch Miranda. Eventually, after determining her habits and discovering where she lives, he kidnaps her one night as she is walking home in London.
