Dame Daphne DuMaurier
It is a while since I read any of her books and I am probably overdue for a revisit.
Which one to read first ? I'm not sure . My favourites are probably "Rebecca", "Frenchman's Creek" and "Jamaica Inn"
Rebecca and Frenchman's Creek were produced as Saturday Night Theatre plays on the BBC in 1976 and Jamaica Inn in '75 I believe. Other versions and other stories have been produced by the BBC ..I think some have been produced as Classic serial versions in the '90's
There are the famous film versions but I started out on the books and then next for pleasure is the radio.
What started this train of thought?

We've driven passed the Jamaica Inn sign several times, whilst on holiday in Cornwall. Must stop one day. I haven't read any of her's for a while. Maybe its time to revisit.
ReplyDeleteShe's well worth the time I think ..I must hunt out some audio readings as these would be nice to listen to when crafting :0)
