Vanishing Cornwall DVD

For over fifty years Cornwall provided Daphne du Maurier with background for her most famous novels. But it was the County itself that she turned to for her book "Vanishing Cornwall". In this film of her book, we share in the fascination and love she had for this wild beautiful land.
Since "Vanishing Cornwall" was first published, and the film completed, certain aspects of the original text have altered and indeed places have changed or vanished. The Beauty and the Mystery beckon still.
A film written by Daphne du Maurier, narrated by Sir Michael Redgrave and directed by Christian Browning.
Running time 40 minutes.
