In August 1938, Daphne du Maurier's novel Rebecca was published in the UK. It was to become the most famous of all her books and has never been out of print.
This month we celebrate the 85th anniversary of Rebecca.
Two of Daphne du Maurier's most well-known short stories also celebrate special anniversaries this year. The Birds celebrates its 60th anniversary, and Don't Look Now celebrates its 50th anniversary.
