About This Item
London: Folio Society 2007. (Hardcover in slipcase) 331pp. Fine, no dust jacket. Black covers illustrated with orange and white in a fine black slipcase. Color illustrated frontispiece, color illustrations. "Apparently Daphne du Maurier hated Alfred Hitchcock's adaptation of her story, 'The Birds'. She was baffled as to why the great director had distorted it as he had. The difference between the story and the film is striking, though less in the depiction of the birds' inexplicably aggressive behaviour than in the characters who confront it, and where it all happens" - from the Introduction. Illustrations by Helen Smithson. Introduction by Patrick McGrath. (Mystery, Mysteries, Short Stories, Suspense Thriller).
