Gerald - A Portrait [Paperback] Daphne Du Maurier

 

Item Condition: Used; Good

"An extraordinary book for a daughter to
have been able to write.
u is the story of the boy who could
never quite grow up; the widely loved detor
whose heart was never really in the theatre;
the matinee idol who wanted only to be
allowed to have fun...the gay and lonely
charmer who found his success, his failure
and his half-success all equally empty,
frightening and unbearable."
-JOHN VAN DRUTEN
GERALD du MAURIER
was the son of the famous artist George du
Maurier who wrote two best-selling novels,
PETER IBBETSON and TRILBY, and
the father of the brilliant author of
REBECCA, JAMAICA INN, etc. In this
understanding and honest Iife of the
moody, generous, restless genius who was
her father, Daphne du Maurier has written
one of the masterly biographies of our time.
