![]() It is of course ‘ The Birds’, which is probably the most famous of all her short stories and which gets a full mention in the title, that most people will think they know because of the Alfred Hitchcock film. So with a mixture of excitement and trepidation I opened up my copy of ‘The Birds & Other Stories’ (have you noticed I am slowly but surely becoming a short story convert?) little did I know I was about to open up what is quite possibly my favourite short story collection so far.įrom having read previous Daphne Du Maurier’s short stories, and indeed her full novels, I do like it when she goes to the darker side of both her fictional writing, humour and thoughts on human nature and ‘The Birds & Other Stories’ is really like a distilled collection of just those tales. I have always loved her books, in fact I have actually really loved all of her books so far, yet I always think the next one could be the one that puts me off. Daphne Du Maurier is always an author that I adore but also worry about every time I read. ![]()
