Three of us run the Daphne du Maurier website, Sophie, David and myself. Sophie runs the X account and supports me with Instagram and lots of other administrative and background work related to the main website. David is great at research, and given a clue about something du Maurier related, he will search out all sorts of information for us.
Today Sophie has written an excellent article especially for us all, which opens with her sharing her love of du Maurier with us. Her article, entitled, An Unlikely Connection: Daphne du Maurier and A.G. Macdonell, tells us about her great, great uncle Archie, a writer of some considerable note, and about how his and Daphne du Maurier’s paths crossed on a number of occasions during their respective writing careers.
