THE MAP HOUSE - Key Persons

Daphne du Maurier included The Map House as the setting for a cruicial plot twist in her novel collection "The Birds & Other Stories" (1952); 'I had gone into the Map House, in St. James's to buy myself some half-dozen books to read on that long thrash across the Atlantic - a journey one took with certain qualms in those day, the Titanic tragedy still fresh in memory - and there were Victor and Anna, pouring over maps which they had spread out over every available space'.
