History
In the late 1950s, Falk rented Edmund Duffy's summer place atop Baldy Hill in Truro. And in 1961 he purchased Duffy's cottage at South Pamet Road, remodeled it and had a tennis court built on the property. He named the summer house Xanadu.
Several times he used names for places from around his summer house as names and addresses in Mandrake stories. Sometimes in stories it almost looks like Mandrake's Xanadu are localized in South Pamet Road.
