Product Description

One of Daphne du Maurier's four Cornish novels, this is a haunting tale set on desolate Bodmin Moor a century-and-a-half ago. Mary Yellan, recently orphaned, leaves her home at Helford to live with her aunt at Jamaica Inn. There she discovers fear, cruelty, smuggling and murder.

About the Author

Daphne du Maurier (1907 - 89) was born in London, the daughter of the famous actor-manager Sir Gerald du Maurier and granddaughter of George du Maurier, the author and artist. She began writing short stories and articles in 1928 and in 1931 her first novel, THE LOVING SPIRIT, was published. It was the novel REBECCA that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of all time.
