Artist Louisa Albani and author Maggie Humm explore the landscape, the imaginitive influence and the reality of an extraordinary house and its influence on Daphne du Maurier.

The author stumbled upon the derelict house, hidden behind a vast hedge of red rhododendrons, when she was 20. For years Menabilly kept a grip on her imagination, and in 1943 she purchased it. A new roof and new plumbing made eight room habitable.

A place for du Maurier to live and write and exercise her creative imagination, the house very probably become the model for Manderley in Rebecca.

In this pamphlet, Albani and Humm consider du Maurier’s connection to her home, with extraordinary illustrations and considered essays.
