Heron Books Daphne du Maurier Collection 19 Volumes
The most skilful romantic novelist of our time.
Romance flows from every page of Daphne du Maurierโs โCornishโ novels. Hers is a magic world of intrigue and passion .ย .ย . of beautiful, mysterious women .ย .ย . of handsome men .ย .ย . of crinoline dresses, lace cuffs and plumed hats .ย .ย . of clashing blades and wild rides across the windswept Cornish moors. Can you wonder that so many of them have been made into star-studded films โ Rebecca .ย .ย . Frenchmanโs Creek .ย .ย . Jamaica Inn .ย .ย . My Cousin Rachel.
Yet Daphne du Maurierโs novels are so much more than โromanticโ, for she has a deep interest in psychology and an understanding of the frailties of human nature, which she weaves into her novels to create a quietly disturbing atmosphere of suspense. She has a perception and insight that is, in the words of Wilfred DeโAth, as profound as that of any living author. Of โRebeccaโ, one of the volumes in this lovely edition, he said โas faultless a novel as any in our languageโ. Its strange, unforgettable power has been compared with Emily Brontรซโs โWuthering Heightsโ, Fitzgeraldโs โThe Great Gatsbyโ and โLโEtrangerโ by Albert Camus.
These exquisite golden embellished volumes are bound in richly grained Kidron of soft, summer green.

Hi there,
just a little more information for you for your fantastic site! I’ve bought a set of Daphne Du Maurier books at an auction and when I got them home there was 19 titles. The other 2 are “I’ll Never be Young Again” and “The Progress of Julius”. The type set is smaller than the other couple of “starter” books I have and the volumes a little slimmer – issued in 1982 along with “The Loving Spirit”.
Keep up the good work! Toirleac.
