Dive into the masterful world of Daphne du Maurier with "Hungry Hill," a captivating tale of family legacy and intrigue. This hardcover edition is a timeless addition to any literary collection.
Title: Hungry Hill
Author: Daphne du Maurier (The legendary English author of gothic psychological thrillers like Rebecca, Jamaica Inn, and the short story The Birds).
Publisher: Triangle Books / The Blakiston Company (Philadelphia, Pa.)
Publication Date: March 1947 (Triangle Books Edition; original copyright 1943 by Daphne du Maurier Browning).
Binding: Original publisher’s teal/green textured cloth hardcover with black stamped lettering on the spine.
Condition Notes:
Exterior: The teal cloth boards show shelf dust and significant fading along the edges. The spine is sun-faded to a slightly greyish-green tone, though the black stamped titles remain clear and legible.
Binding: Structurally sound; the internal hinges show light age stretching but remain intact without open splitting.
Interior: The pages are fully intact and clean, featuring the heavy, amber tanning typical of mid-century mass-market editions.
Interesting Note about this title:
Unlike Daphne du Maurier’s entirely fictional gothic romances, Hungry Hill is a sweeping, generation-spanning historical drama based closely on the real-life family history of her own husband, Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick "Boy" Browning. She based the decades-long feud between the copper-mining Brodrick family and the local Irish laborers on actual events that took place around the real Hungry Hill, the highest peak of the Caha Mountains in County Cork, Ireland.
