I haven’t seen the film yet and all I know about it is that it is a horror classic, so lets see how I fare with it. The Birds and Other Stories is a collection of six stories opening with the titular ‘The Birds’, best-known of the lot since it was the subject of the iconic Hitchcock film. It included a range of stories playing with readers’ minds and emotions, some of them being downright unnerving. But it was only the year before last that I managed to pick up a sort story collection by her for the fist time ( here), and I found I enjoyed these very much as well. I’ve read five or six novels by du Maurier so far and have enjoyed most, even revisiting a couple for Ali’s Daphne du Maurier reading week the past two years. Today’s pick is a short story collection by an author I enjoy very much, and a book that I haven’t got to despite meaning to for a long time, The Birds and Other Stories (1952) by Daphne du Maurier.
