'Daphne du Maurier Country' is a very special book at Cornwall in that the internationally-famous novelist has set important stories here. Many of her novels and short stories are steeped in Cornish history and romance. Words and photographs, many of them especially commissioned for this publication, explore locations which fired Dame Daphne's imagination in such memorable story-telling as 'Rebecca', 'The King's General', 'Jamaica Inn' and others.

This, Bossiney's one-hundred-and-fifty-second title, is a treasure chest for those who love Cornwall and for all people who have read the du Maurier novels in scores of languages across the world.

Of her beloved Cornwall, Dame Daphne says with feeling: 'The beauty and the mystery beckon still.'
