Description

I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith is a wonderfully quirky coming-of-age story that affectionately draws a portrait of one of literature's funniest families. This beautifully bound edition, part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series, features an afterword and is illustrated with additional artwork. The Mortmain family has been living in their vast, decrepit castle for years, struggling to stay afloat as they face writer's block, financial ruin, and the challenges of stepmotherhood. Through the voice of Cassandra's diary entries, we follow her trials and tribulations as she navigates family life, the arrival of an American family, and the agonies of falling in love for the first time. This charming novel is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves witty, insightful storytelling about the complexities of family life.
