BBC News: "Rare early work by Cornwall's Daphne du Maurier has been found by a local bookseller.
Ann Willmore who runs Bookends in Fowey has found a rare collection of short stories by the celebrated author.
Ms Willmore stumbled across some of the titles over the internet.
One of the most exciting finds for du Maurier fans is a story called The Doll. It was written when du Maurier was barely in her 20s.
Many of the stories were only featured once in magazines in the UK and USA in the 1930s."

One has to wonder how many she "discovered" in the FictionMags Index we've helped to compile. Surely those items weren't actually "discovered" by the indexers in question.
