✦ Synopsis

“Du Maurier is in a class by herself.”

— New York Times

Perhaps best known for her immortal gothic masterwork Rebecca —the basis for the Academy Award-winning motion picture directed by Alfred Hitchcock—Daphne de Maurier began her illustrious writing career penning short stories. In The Doll , thirteen of du Maurier's early shorter fictional works have been collected—each story written before the author's twenty-third birthday and some in print for the first time since the 1930s. Compelling tales of human foibles and tragic romance, the stories in The Doll represent the emergence of a remarkable literary talent who later went on to create Jamaica Inn ,The Birds , and other classic works. This breathtaking collection of short fiction belongs on the bookshelf of every Daphne du Maurier fan.
