A Place of One's Own is a mystery novel written by the British author Osbert Sitwell that was published in 1940. Belonging to the ghost story genre, the novel was an extension of a short story that Sitwell had previously written. The plot follows the lives of an elderly couple at the turn of the twentieth century who move into a new house, only to discover that it appears to be haunted.
In 1945 it was adapted into a British film of the same title produced by Gainsborough Pictures.[1] Directed by Bernard Knowles and starring James Mason and Margaret Lockwood, it was part of the group of Gainsborough Melodramas. Sitwell collaborated on the screenplay with Brock Williams.
