 Austen Citings - Dodie Smith
Dodie Smith was the pseudonym of C L Anthony (1896-1990), playwright, novelist and theatre producer, best known for her children’s book The Hundred and One Dalmatians (1956), which of course has been made into a film more than once.
Her novel I Capture The Castle (1949) made a deep impression on me when I first read it as a teenager: it is a coming-of-age story with lots of intelligence, feeling and wit.
This is the kind of discussion I like very much but I wanted to get on with my journal, so I just said: ‘Fifty per cent each way would be perfect’, and started to write determinedly.
