DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. A good, lengthy T.L.S., Daphne, four pages, 8vo and 4to, Menabilly, Par, Cornwall, 22nd January 1952, to Victor Gollancz ('Darling Victor'). Du Maurier announces 'You really are the only publisher in the world!' and continues 'I can think of no one who would take the trouble, on a busy Monday with thousands of problems, to write me at length about the stories, and to say truthfully exactly what was right and what was wrong!', further adding 'Do you know, that out at Doubledays, they have what they call nine editors, who all sit round a table of immense proportions in a huge block on Madison Avenue, and every so often have a "conference" about new manuscripts, and then everyone disagrees, and then the luckless author is written to (after several weeks) and somebody comes over and gives the author a luncheon and the M.S. is never discussed at all, and then there is a cocktail party, and after about nine months the author is told that after all the editors think it better if the book be written not about a young man and his love affairs, but about a woman and her row with her husband! (This is exaggeration, but almost this happened to a friend of mine!)' Du Maurier also writes of her own work, and confirms that Sheila [Hodges, her editor] should commence work on The Apple Tree and The Birds, and discusses Monte Verita, 'I would say it is O.K. up to the moment when the narrator gets inside the walls', explaining 'I wasn't sure what did happen inside the walls!....I suddenly lost my nerve, and as I was describing the youthful gay creatures enjoying themselves I thought "My God, the reader will infer they are just a bunch of homosexuals having fun!" and though this would be a delightful denoument, I don't think we can allow it!' and further making suggestions on how she may be able to re-write and improve a part of it. The novelist also refers to her ideas for other short stories in the collection ('I'm all for having as many as possible, so that readers think they have their money's worth') and the time involved ('Personally, I would feel happier if you didn't rush the stories for August Bank holiday because I don't want to do them badly') before concluding her letter by remarking 'So glad, by the way, you liked The Birds. Because I thought it the best, it wrote itself, and I didn't have to sweat blood over it. The results are always bad when I sweat blood, it means they are laboured'. A letter of good literary content and association. Some light age wear and a few small, minor pinholes and tears to the upper edges and corners of the pages, otherwise about VG Victor Gollancz (1893-1967) British Publisher. Du Maurier's The Apple Tree: A Short Novel and Several Long Stories was originally published by Victor Gollancz in 1952 and contained the horror story The Birds which served as the inspiration for one of Alfred Hitchcock's most famous films, The Birds, released in 1963.
