Walks in the footsteps of Daphne du Maurier

Walks in the footsteps of Daphne du Maurier
by Sue Kittow

Walks in the Footsteps of Daphne du Maurier explores the places special to her books and films. 

Sue has loved Du Maurier’s novels with a passion since she was a young teenager. She has wept over Frenchman’s Creek, shuddered as she turned the pages of Jamaica Inn and admired the bravery of Honor in The King’s General.

Du Maurier is, to her mind, unrivalled in her descriptions of the moors, the sea and the rivers and her details that show a character in often chilling ways, such as Joss Merlyn’s huge hands deftly cutting a loaf of bread.

Daphne du Maurier regarded Cornwall as her refuge and the county allowed her to find her niche, and her ability to write.

This book explores many of the routes featured in her books, and it was a joy to walk in her footsteps.
