ROOK WITH A BOOK
Rook With A Book honors the legacy, inspiration, and love of author Daphne du Maurier for Fowey, her hometown.
She is known for her many wonderful books, including "The Birds," which was adapted for Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 film of the same name.
Created by the Thrussells, a father-and-son sculptor duo whose studio is located in Bodmin Moor at the source of the River Fowey.
Their artwork is created for private collectors and public spaces.
"Isla," the rook, was unveiled by Daphne's son in 2018.
