In volume after volume, Daphne du
Maurier has proven herself one of the
finest storytellers of the 20th century.
Without exception her novels are a con-
noisseur s blend of tightly plotted action,
taut suspense, mesmerizing characters
and rich atmosphere. Nowhere is du
Maurier in better form than in her superb
historical romance, Frenchman s Creek.
Here is the story of beautiful, high
spirited Lady Dona St. Columb, a favor
ire at the English Royal Court during the
reign of Charles II. Yet the frivolity of
17th-ccntury London is a source of irrita-
tion for Lady Dona. Leaving her husband
to tend family interests in the city, she
flccs to the wild beauty and solitude of
their estate on the Cornwall coast.
But even the free-spirited Lady Dona is
hardly prepared for the surprise that
awaits her there. Navron House, the fam
ily mansion, is being used as a secret
refuge by the handsome and daring
French pirate, Jcaa-Benoit Aubery
while his magnificent sailing ship, La
Mouette, lies at anchor in a secluded
creek nearby.
Dona s discevery of the pirate is pre
lude to a tale of high adventure and a
bittersweet love story that could only
have been conceived by a novelist of the
very first rank.Frenchman s Creek mem-
orably combines grand entertainment
with powerful drama.
