Daphne Du Maurier – My Cousin Rachel – First UK Edition 1951
£175.00
First edition, first printing of ‘My Cousin Rachel’. Published by Gollancz in London, 1951. This is a near fine (or better) copy. The dust wrapper has some mild chipping at the corners and at the top and tail of the spine and a couple of neat tears expertly repaired. It has not been price clipped, showing the original 12/6 net price. The boards are free from notable chips and marks and are attractively bound in the original publishers cloth. The text blocks are bright and clean. This copy is free from previous owners ink. This is a near fine (or better) copy.
Bearing thematic similarities to her earlier and more famous novel Rebecca, it is a mystery-romance, set primarily on a large estate in Cornwall. The story has its origins in a portrait of Rachel Carew at Antony House in Cornwall, which du Maurier saw and took as inspiration.
