Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is presented in this beautifully illustrated and abridged children's edition, introducing younger readers to one of the most famous gothic mystery novels in English literature.
A young woman marries the wealthy widower Maxim de Winter and moves with him to Manderley, his magnificent country estate. But her new home is dominated by the memory of Maxim's first wife, Rebecca, and by the unsettling presence of the devoted housekeeper Mrs Danvers.
