Castle Dor

Castle Dor

Both a spellbinding love story and a superb evocation of Cornwall&#39;s mythic past, Castle Dor is a book with unique and fascinating origins.<br /> <br /> It began life as the unfinished last novel of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, the celebrated &#39;Q&#39;, and was passed by his daughter to Daphne du Maurier whose storytelling skills were perfectly suited to the task of completing the old master&#39;s tale.<br /> <br /> The result is this magical, compelling recreation of the legend of Tristan and Iseult, transplanted in time to the Cornwall of the last century. A chance encounter between the Breton onion-seller, Amyot Trestane, and the newly-wed Linnet Lewarne launches their tragic story, taking them in the fateful footsteps of the doomed lovers of Cornish legend . . .
