Daphne du Maurier Literary CentreThe inspiration and home of many a well-known writer, Fowey honours its artists with an exhibition displaying its literary heritage. Although Daphne du Maurier actually grew up in London, she made frequent visits to Cornwall in her childhood, wrote and lived in Fowey. A celebrated writer, Daphne du Maurier inspired Alfred Hitchcock to convert two of her works "Rebecca" and "The Birds" into films while her nostalgic work, "Vanishing Cornwall" led her to become one of the area's best loved writers. The Daphne du Maurier Literary Centre celebrates Dame Daphne in a short video of her life and work and exhibits displays featuring how the historic Port of Fowey inspired the author's works. The centre includes displays on other writers inspired by Fowey such as Sir Arthur Quiller Couch, Kenneth Grahame and Leo Walmsley. On your visit, you'll also be able to see a short video on the Port of Fowey and a promotional film about Fowey in the 20th century.Location Address: 5 South Street Postcode: PL231AR [Street Map] Town/City: Fowey County: Cornwall Phone: +44 (0)1726 833616 / 833619 Website: http://www.dumaurier.org |
