Oooh! That Mrs Danvers was evil, EVIL! I like the way you can't see her feet in the illustration ,she would glide silently from room to room like a phantom.
the Rebecca series is definately my fave!
Judith looks great. I always wanted her to smack Joan Fontaine. No, that was me who wanted to smack Joan Fontaine. She was ALWAYS a milquetoast. Did I spell that correctly? Think of her in "Suspicion" another Rebecca role. aaarrggghh. I guess she was a good milquetoast.
I love the word "stony" as applied to certain faces.
My youngest daughter was reading this book while we were in Spain. She is one of those people who talks (even yells) at her books, and she was getting quite exercised over Mrs. Danvers' evil ways.
I received Alice today -- MANY THANKS. It might take a bit of time to fit in a trip to Oxford, though.

Oh boy, oh boy. Will we get to see Jasper?
