The Birds The idea for this famous story came to her one day when she was walking across to Menabilly Barton farm from the house. She saw a farmer busily ploughing a field whilst above him the seagull s were diving and wheeling. She developed the idea about the birds becoming hostile and attacking him. In her story, the birds become hostile after a harsh winter with little food, first the seagull s, then birds of prey and finally even small birds, all turn against mankind. The nightmarish idea appealed to Hitchcock who turned it into the celebrated film. Daphne disliked the film and particularly disliked the translation of the setting from Cornwall, with its small fields and stone hedges, to small-town America.

A true story of a son remembering his father. The story takes the reader on a journey through 3 generations, showing the kind of life his Father had, his adventures and more importantly, what he created. The 'life-cycle' of the Apple Tree mirrors his father's own life, from the moment when he planted the tiny seeds with his own father all those years ago: the beautiful tree grows and blossoms, season after season, bearing fruit and new saplings. It is a reflection of how each families' stories are inevitably entwined in one another's, and how we all live out our own 'life-cycle', creating loving memories along the way: memories that we must pass onto the next generation!

Half of a lifetime's writing produced very few short pieces of fiction. Some have been lost and some are not considered acceptable to print. They were written at odd times and are not a cohesive lot. They range in style from realism, through fantasy to absurdity. I hope the reader will find something of interest.
