review 1: A fascinating look into a fascinating life and mind. Perfect for anybody who adores Daphne Du Maurier's writing. It is an honest, genuine account of her early life. We see Du Maurier as a human being, just like us, yet still every bit as likable as one of her heroes or heroines. She also has the sweetest account of somebody meeting their husband that I've ever heard, but I won't spoil that here. A brief glimpse (only 170 pgs) into what was obviously a fully appreciated life.
review 2: Daphne du Maurier is one of my favorite female authors, and I've read nearly all of her books. So when I came across a copy of "Myself When Young" at a local library sale, I snatched it up happily. I pulled it out one day recently while bedridden and sick, hoping it would prove a
... morepleasant diversion. I was not disappointed. In fact, I found it as equally charming, captivating, and entertaining as any of her novels. An enjoyable, easy read. Highly recommended, especially if a fan of the author's other books, or an aspiring writer. less

One of my favorite author bios, but now out of print. She was a master writer, for sure.
