"These exquisite golden embellished volumes are bound in richly grained Kidron of soft, summer green." Heron Catalogue

"The most skilful romantic novelist of (her) time.
Romance flows from every page of Daphne du Maurier’s ‘Cornish’ novels. Hers is a magic world of intrigue and passion . . . of beautiful, mysterious women . . . of handsome men . . . of crinoline dresses, lace cuffs and plumed hats . . . of clashing blades and wild rides across the windswept Cornish moors.
Yet Daphne du Maurier’s novels are so much more than ‘romantic’, for she has a deep interest in psychology and an understanding of the frailties of human nature, which she weaves into her novels to create a quietly disturbing atmosphere of suspense. She has a perception and insight that is, in the words of Wilfred De’Ath, as profound as that of any author of her time."
