Vanishing Cornwall by Daphne Du Maurier
Daphne du Maurier and Cornwall belong together as surely as Hardy and Dorset, or Dickens and Christmas. Beautiful and mysterious Cornwall exerts a potent spell on all who visit it.An eloquent elegy on the past of a county she loved so much * The Times *
Cornwall, England ... with its legends of Arthur and Tristan, its intimations of Crete, its history and tales, its trades and peoples ... its perpetual spring ... a likely subject for Miss du Maurier's romance * Kirkus Reviews *
Du Maurier has no equal * Sunday Telegraph *
Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) was born in London, England. In 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel Rebecca that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning with whom she had three children.
Many of du Maurier's bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now. In 1969, du Maurier was awarded the Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE). She lived most of her life in Cornwall and died there which is the setting for many of her books.
