Dame Daphne Du Maurier

by

Joyce Hemsley

Series of famous
names from history:

Dame of The British Empire
DAPHNE du MAURIER
Twentieth Century Novelist.

I add the name of Dame Daphne
to my dedications because I
admire her work greatly. And
I am sure everyone in England
and abroad, will remember her
Cornish novels - made into films.
Right now I hold the book in my
hand; it belongs in my bookcase.
The book contains her four
famous novels with true photos,
also her own head and shoulders
picture on the back cover.
The stories are:
Rebecca, made into an Oscar-winning
film, and best seller for fifty
years, Jamaica Inn, Frenchman's
Creek, and My Cousin Rachel.
Novels and films.

I will always remember the opening
line in her Cornish Novel "Rebecca."
"Last night I dreamt I went to
Manderley again." The film was a
great Classic.

DAPHNE du MAURIER married
Sir Frederick Browning, Lieutenant
General. She had three children and
lived in the South Country, but
died in nineteen eighty-nine
at the age of eighty-two, her ashes
scattered on the Cornish Coastline.
Her stories were some of the best
ever written. And this generation,
and the archives honour a great
lady's name.
