Editor's Note:
A classic of alienation and horror, The Birds was immortalised by Hitchcock in his celebrated film. The five other chilling stories in this collection echo a sense of dislocation and mock man's dominance over the natural world. The mountain paradise of 'Monte Verità' promises immortality, but at a terrible price; a neglected wife haunts her husband in the form of an apple tree; a professional photographer steps out from behind the camera and into his subject's life; a date with a cinema usherette leads to a walk in the cemetery; and a jealous father finds a remedy when three's a crowd . . .

Indulge in the ultimate literary experience. We've refined the way you discover and access The Birds and Other Stories (VMC) by Daphne Du Maurier (2003-07-12) by Daphne du Maurier. Crafted for the discerning reader.
