Hi Fiona,
It's always gratifying to read that one of Daphne's novels has been enjoyed by such a wide age range of readers in your group. Thanks for sharing that. I wonder if you or any of your group have some favourite lines from Rebecca that you'd like to place on Your Favourite Lines webpage as an enduring record?
Best wishes.
Collin

Thought members might be interested to know that out of the 10 books read by my readers group in 2009 'Rebecca' scored the most points. There are eight of us in the group age range from 21 to 54 and we all loved it.

In Margaret Forster's Daphne du Maurier, there is a photo of three members of the Rashleigh family-Oenone,Morwenna and Jennifer. Does anyone know which Mrs Rashleigh lived in Luwhyre [ spelling? ] Lodge near Rashleigh Lane west of Readymoney Cove in 1943? I have an invitation to my late mother to a The Dansant from Mrs Rashleigh and her Committee on 5 December 1943 to meet officers of the US Navy but there is no Christian name included for Mrs Rashleigh. I wonder if she is one of the three in the photo?

Dr Helen Doe, maritime historian, who has given many popular talks at the du Maurier Festival, has emailed to say she will be on Radio 4 Woman's Hour on Wednesday 20th January. The programme begins at 10.00 am - ditto Collin's info below for those overseas.

BBC Radio 4 (FM 92.4-94.6 MHz)is broadcasting, 9.30am London time, a programme next Tuesday, Jan.12 called Famous Footsteps about children of famous parents. I gather Tessa Montgomery, Daphne's eldest, features. I hope those interested who live outside the UK can listen via internet. Happy New Year to all Daphne fans especially those who have posted their favourite lines.

Hello! This is my first message here. First of all, Happy New Year to all of you. I am happy to be here among those who love Daphne's books. My favorite is the short story collection “The Breaking Point”. One of my dreams is to visit Cornwall and see the famous places by myself.

Guy du Maurier. Soldier, playwright and... rugby player. One of 70+ members of my club who fell in WW1 and for whom my youth team are building a memorial to replace the 'lost' one.(Gerald du Maurier also used 'to perform to his own accompaniment at our informal smokers'. You can see Guy in a team photo aged 17 in 1882 on www.rugbyremembers.co.uk. I am searching for his letters from Africa and from the Wetern front if anyone can help.
Many thanks
