Summary:

" Early stories [that] vividly portrays with humor, candidness, and detail du Maurier's fascination with the problems of human connection." - Publishers Weekly Perhaps best known for her immortal gothic masterwork Rebecca -the basis for the Academy Award-winning motion picture directed by Alfred Hitchcock-Daphne de Maurier began her illustrious writing career penning short stories. In The Doll , thirteen of du Maurier's early shorter fictional works have been collected-each story written before the author's twenty-third birthday and some in print for the first time since the 1930s. Compelling tales of human foibles and tragic romance, the stories in The Doll represent the emergence of a remarkable literary talent who later went on to create Jamaica Inn , The Birds , and other classic works. This breathtaking collection of short fiction belongs on the bookshelf of every Daphne du Maurier fan. "[D]electably florid." - New York Times Book Review "[Du Maurier's] storytelling gifts are formidable." - Kirkus Reviews
