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.

More Background Information for Du Maurier Fans
By C. Mathieu
I've read the other reviews and decided to add something new that has not yet been mentioned here before, but might be of interest to a few Du Maurier fans who plan a trip to Fowey in Cornwall, UK.
The most interesting chapters in this autobiographical book are the ones on how Du Maurier got inspired to write "Rebecca" while she and her husband were in Egypt and the "House of Secrets" chapter in which she talks about the time when she discovered the house 15 years earlier as a young girl vacationing in Fowey, Cornwall, with her parents and two sisters.
But I also got a lot out of her chapter on aging and widowhood.
What I enjoyed particularly was the fact that the autobiographical chapters have been put together in chronological order, so you can read the book from the first to the last page and notice that the next chapter is taking place later in Du Maurier's life and so on.
I've read all her novels and her (auto)biographies starting with
- The Glass Blowers (this is about her ancestors who immigrated from France to England during the French Revolution)
- Mary Anne (another ancestor who was the mistress of a British aristocrat)
- George DuMaurier (Daphne's grandfather who became famous for the magazine "Punch" and his novel "Trilby")
- Gerald Du Maurier (Daphne's father, a popular stage actor and later theater director in London)
- Growing Pains (Daphne's memoir from when she was a child until her honeymoon where she got inspired to write her wonderful novel "Frenchman's Creek")
In-between I would suggest reading Margaret Forster's biography which offers more information on Daphne's life
- The Rebecca Notebook (the last chapter was written by Daphne Du Maurier a few years, before her demise)
The special thing about Du Maurier is her love for certain houses/mansions. The locations in her books are all real and almost more important than the protagonists. I've been to Cornwall twice in my life and have seen the Helford River (satyed on the opposite side of Frenchman's Creek and also was on the Creek side and walked down from Donna St. Columb's house, I found Menabilly (crossed the property illegally :)), Kilmarth (her last home close to Menabilly), Fowey, their first house Ferryside opposite of Fowey in Boddinick, Readymony Cove next to Catherine's Castle in Fowey (where Daphne lived after she was able to rent her dream house while Menabilly was renovated), but I still haven't seen Cannon Hall in London.
However, I did the long walk mentioned in Forster's biography starting at Ferryside leading uphill and saw all the places mentioned.
I stopped several times at Jamaica Inn in Bodmin Moor, too.
After you are familiar with "Rebecca", I can highly recommend reading "Frenchman's Creek", "The House on the Strand" (taking place in Kilmarth plus there is a Bodrugan's Leap to which public has access) and "The King's General" (another Menabilly novel with a real background and real existing people as protagonists (check out the metal plate hanging inside the church in Tywardreath, Cornwall, look for Honor Harris)).
There is also a lovely documentary on her life (check out amazon.co.uk).

Up close and personal with Daphne du Maurier... and Rebecca
By CoffeeGurl
Having recently devoured most of her novels and short stories, and having read a fictional account about her, I've decided to read one of Daphne du Maurier's autobiographies. I was not able to obtain a copy of Myself When Young, her first memoir, but I did manage to obtain a library copy of The Rebecca Notebook and Other Memories.
This wonderful book contains notes, musings and rough drafts of Rebecca when the novel was still a work-in-progress. Du Maurier also recalls aspects of her first years of marriage and her first impressions of her home estate called Menabilly. She also gives insights into her mind as she focuses on her work. Rebecca is very much loved among readers, and having this account of how its creator comes about writing it while going through some personal growth herself is fascinating. The book, while insightful, doesn't compare to her novels though. (Hence the three stars.) It is also quite short. I was able to finish rather quickly. Still, this is a good thing to read if you're a fan of this author. I have read about Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and others, and wanted to read about this author -- from her own pen at that! I very much look forward to reading either Myself When Young or The Du Mauriers. There is also The Daphne du Maurier Companion and other biographies that talk about her supposed extramarital affairs and rumored bisexuality, which Ms. Du Maurier remarks upon by way of her "male alter ego" Richard Young in The House on the Strand. Those books all seem interesting, but in the meantime get this at the library if available.
