Enchanted Cornwall: Daphne du Maurier

Description

“Enchanted Cornwall is more than a travelogue of memorable haunts. It tries to give an idea of the way in which Cornwall has communicated with me, and I with Cornwall, for here I found myself both as a writer and as a person.” Thus does Daphne de Maurier introduce her personal memoir of living in Cornwall, which was the setting for many, if not most, of her finest novels, from The Birds (St Ives) to Jamaica Inn (Bodmin Moor) to Rebecca (the fictional estate of Manderley, based on du Maurier’s own Menabilly House, Tywardreath. This eloquent hymn to the county du Maurier adored was published just after her death in 1989. This large-format edition is in very good condition.
