The books in the series cost just £1 and Penguin state that 'these books celebrate the ground-breaking authors who define the radical spirit of Penguin Modern Classics.' The series also includes Orwell, Beckett, Kafka, Parker, Stein, and Nabokov. It is fantastic to see du Maurier's brilliance recognised by her inclusion in this list.
