Description
Sir Gerald du Maurier was a celebrated actor-manager, knighted for his services to the theatre in 1922. His biography, published within six months of his death, offers a frank and insightful look at his life. Daphne du Maurier's portrayal of her father is both amusing and sensitive, capturing his eccentricities and sense of humour as well as the darker side of his nature and his struggles with depression. This remarkable book showcases brilliant comic writing that has stood the test of time. A notable work from Daphne du Maurier, Gerald: A Portrait provides a unique glimpse into the life of a theatrical legend.
