30. Friends Reception with Paul de Zulueta: A Personal History of the du Mauriers – LIVE STREAMED

An event exclusively for Friends and Patrons of Ilkley Literature Festival. Purchase a membership here!

Born into a famous artistic dynasty at a time when women of her class were not expected to have a career, Daphne du Maurier defied convention and became a writer. She dreamt up the stories that have sold tens of millions of copies worldwide including Rebecca, Jamaica Inn and ‘The Birds’. Paul de Zulueta, Daphne du Maurier’s grandson, has drawn on private family archives, new interviews and his own memories of his grandmother for an intimate look into the du Maurier world.
This event will be chaired by Yvette Huddleston
