The Doll: The Lost Short Stories

The Doll: The Lost Short Stories

This astonishing collection of little-known early stories by Daphne du Maurier is vivid proof that some of our finest artists really do "hit the ground running." All but one of the 13 tales in this collection were written when she was a teenager/young adult, including "And Now to God the Father," the first thing she ever published at the age of 21. Fans of her later works can see the earliest examples of a talent unlike any other, and her passion for exploring and describing the darkest recesses of the human heart. If you've ever wondered what sort of mind could possibly come up with novels as brilliant as Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel, or short stories as chilling and macabre as "The Birds" and "Don't Look Now," look no further. These stories are the work of a wildly talented young woman who was well on her way to becoming one of the great writers of the 20th century. Highly recommended.
