Daphne du Maurier was a renowned English novelist, biographer, and playwright celebrated for her evocative stories infused with supernatural elements. Despite initial neglect from critics, her works have since earned enduring praise for their compelling storytelling. Many of her novels and short stories, including “Rebecca,” “Frenchman’s Creek,” “My Cousin Rachel,” “Jamaica Inn,” “The Birds,” and “Don’t Look Now,” have been successfully adapted into films. Du Maurier’s strong connection to Cornwall greatly influenced her literary journey, and as her stature grew, she gradually withdrew from public life.
