Down harbour  around the point  was the open sea. Here was the freedom I desired  long sought-for  not yet known. Freedom to write  to walk  to wander  freedom to climb hills  to pull a boat  to be alone . . . I for this  and this for me. Daphne du Maurier lived in her beloved Cornwall for most of her life. Its rugged coastline  wild terrain  and tumultuous weather inspired her imagination  and many of her works are set there  including Frenchmans Creek  Jamaica Inn  and Rebecca. Here she celebrates the land she loved  exploring its legends  its history  and its people  and eloquently makes a powerful plea for Cornwalls preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948105658421,"sku":"ByrdShop_1844088537","price":91.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781844088539_50785f0f-0e9d-42d2-9ab9-10d7c76da066.jpg?v=1770323418","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/vanishing-cornwall-virago-modern-classics","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
