Letters from Menabilly
Daphné du Maurier, Oriel Malet (editor)
Daphne du Maurier's correspondence with Oriel Malet began in the early 1950s, after they met at a cocktail party in London. Oriel was a gauche young writer while Daphne, more than 20 years her senior, was an internationally celebrated author - yet the friendship flourished over a 30 year span, fed by the letters that arrived faithfully from Menabilly, the du Maurier house in Cornwall. Linked by Oriel Malet's tender recollections, the letters are a charming and unique picture of the time as well as a valuable record of the thoughts and working methods of a fine and well-loved writer.
