description: The short stories which Daphne du Maurier has written throughout her career have always had a haunting quality, and from two of them - The Birds and Don't Look Now - memorable films have been made. The fourteen tales included in the present volume were written over a period of many years some of them before her first novels were published, others in her thirties and forties; they reflect many human romance, disenchantment, fantasy, nostalgia, ambition, irony, the longing for adventure. Each story is based on something du Maurier observed or overheard and will provide pleasure for every mood.
