Today I got off work early and went browsing into charity shops near my workplace. I walked into Thames Hospice charity shop and found this lot sitting on the top shelf.
The first thought that came to mind is that I love Rebecca and would like to read other Du Maurier titles, but not sure if I want to read all of them! Then I thought, it does look very good on my shelf (or sofa) doesn’t it?
and so.. I bought all 10 Du Maurier titles that are available with a great, great bargain. The shopkeeper said they sit on the shelf for about 10 minutes until I snapped it up.
Doesn’t it look great? Now whenever I’m ready, I’ll head up to Daphne Du Maurier Challenge and sign myself up!
What about you? Do you read any of Du Maurier’s books? If so what do you think of them?

I haven’t read nearly enough du Maurier, honestly, only Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel and Frenchman’s Creek (I believe). But I’ve enjoyed all the ones I’ve read, and I love your new matching set of her books!

Posted by Mel u | September 4, 2010, 12:18 amOoh, fantastic find, you’re so lucky! 🙂 I’ve read Rebecca of course and absolutely loved, and I’ve read some of her short stories which were great as well, very atmospheric and suspenseful.
I want to read Jamaica Inn soon, it sound so good 🙂

Posted by JoV | September 5, 2010, 8:35 pmI’ve read The Flight of the Falcon, Echoes from the Macabre, Kiss Me Again Stranger, Don’t Look Now, and Rebecca. They were all great! I’m hoping to pick up a copy of Rule Britannia sometime soon. I can’t wait to read them all. Cool collection. You’re going to love it!
Posted by Bijeto | May 1, 2011, 7:17 pmBijeto, it seems you are Daphne biggest fan! Did you try Jamaica Inn? It’s great as well. I’m will try to read Frenchman’s Creek and My Cousin Rachel next.
Posted by JoV | May 2, 2011, 7:01 pmI am so very green with envy!
