My sources are Daphne du Maurier’s memoirs, her correspondence, and her author file at the IMEC (the French Institute for Contemporary Publishing Archives).
Her sister Angela du Maurier’s memoirs were indispensable to me, as were her daughter Flavia Leng’s, as well as all three works by her biographers, Margaret Forster, Jane Dunn, and Judith Cook.
