Round 8: Tossup 9

A member of this family wrote a novel whose villain inspired the term “Svengali.” The grandchildren of that author from this family inspired the Lost Boys in Peter Pan, in which an actor from this family originated (-5[1])Captain Hook. In a story by an author from this family, Nat Hocken realises a series of attacks only occur at high tide (15[1])while barricaded in his cottage in (*) Cornwall. That author from this (-5[1])family wrote a novel whose unnamed narrator is tricked into wearing the same dress as a dead woman in a portrait by Mrs. Danvers, who dies burning down the Manderley estate. For 10 points, give this family of the author of “The Birds” and Rebecca. ■END■ (10[1]0[2])
