Menabilly

Daphne du Maurier talks about the days when she lived at Menabilly, in this extract from 'The Make Believe World of Daphne du Maurier' and is a rare

opportunity to see Dame Daphne at her home in Cornwall. She talks to Cliff Michelmore on a wide range of subjects about her

writing and work. She wrote twenty seven books in all, many of which were turned into films and television series.
Made in 1977 at her home Kilmarth in Cornwall, its reproduction is by courtesy of Du Maurier Productions.

What a wonderful find! My favourite writer living at Menabilly near Fowey! We are lucky enough to visit this beautiful house as my son is friends with Lord Rashleigh's son. I was taken on a tour of Menabilly only a few months ago. Not an awful lot has changed from when Daphne du Maurier lived there. It's nice to see some footage of her!
