Sobre este artículo
London: Heinemann, 1949. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. Illustrations by Ruth Steed from sketches by the Author. Edges lightly spotted otherwise a lovely VG+ copy (with the red top stain bright and fresh and no fading whatsoever to the spine) in like D/W with just a touch of fraying at the head of the spine and miniscule rubbing to the extremities. The book is VERY SCARCE in collectable condition (as this is). One of the most enjoyable 20th century romances set in a Stuart house which has been grafted onto the ruins of an old castle. Memorably filmed in 2003, directed by Tim Fywell and starring Romola Garai, Bill Nighy and Rose Byrne. First book and one of the most famous childrens novels of the last century
Sinopsis
I Capture the Castle is Dodie Smith's first novel, and was published in 1948. Smith, who wrote the novel during a sojourn in America, was already an established playwright and later became famous for authoring the children's classic The Hundred and One Dalmatians. I Capture the Castle relates the adventures of an eccentric family, the Mortmains, struggling to live in a decaying English castle in the 1930s. The story is told by Cassandra Mortmain, a bright teenager, through her personal journal.
