Mary Yellan travels across the rain-soaked moors to Jamaica Inn on a cold November evening in respect of her dying mother's request. When she arrives, the coachman's warning begins to reverberate in her mind, as her aunt Patience cowers in front of towering Uncle Joss Merlyn. Mary, terrified of the inn's ominous power, eventually becomes entangled in the murky plots unfolding beyond its decaying walls - and persuaded to love a man she can't trust. The source of inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's 1939 masterpiece.

Daphne du Maurier

Daphne du Maurier (1907-89) was born in London, the daughter of the famous actor-manager Sir Gerald du Maurier and granddaughter of George du Maurier, the author and artist. 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 a DBE. She lived most of her life in Cornwall, the setting for many of her books.
