Gefundene Autoren: Daphne Du Maurier

Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) was born in London, England. In 1931 her first novel, _The Loving Spirit_ was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel _Rebecca_ that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning with whom she had three children. Many of du Maurier's bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcock's _The Birds_ and Nicolas Roeg's _Don't Look Now_. In 1969, du Maurier was awarded the Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE). She lived most of her life in Cornwall and died there which is the setting for many of her books.
