Description
A superb, pristine first edition of Margaret Forster’s definitive biography of Daphne du Maurier—the brilliant and enigmatic author of Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel, and The Birds.
Forster’s work remains one of the most respected examinations of du Maurier’s life, drawing from letters, diaries, and private papers to illuminate the complexities of a woman whose imagination reshaped 20th-century storytelling. This biography is widely regarded as the most perceptive and candid portrait of du Maurier ever published.
This First Edition, First Printing copy is in Fine condition, unusually well-preserved. The book is immaculate, and the dust jacket is remarkably bright and fresh, showing none of the fading or rubbing typical of this title. Now housed in a Brodart archival sleeve, it displays beautifully and is ideally suited for collectors.
A standout copy of a major literary biography—one that will elevate any collection of modern literature, women writers, or 20th-century British fiction.
