About this product

Product Information

One of the 20th century's most beloved novels is still winning hearts, Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle ! "This book has one of the most charismatic narrators I've ever met." -- J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series Adapted to a feature film in 2003, I Capture the Castle tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra and her family, who live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Here she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She fills three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the castle's walls, and her own first descent into love. By the time she pens her final entry, she has "captured the castle"-- and the heart of the reader-- in one of literature's most enchanting entertainments. Bonus: Reading Group Discussion Guide included in this edition

    great narrative and vivid descriptons

    I read this book when I was a child and thought it my favorite book. I wanted to reread it as an adult and I am enjoying it very much.

    Charming

    I bought this book on a recommendation from a blog that I like to read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Cassandra Mortmain is completely charming, as is the book. So many things reminded me of myself when I was "coming of age." I found myself laughing out loud many times while I was reading.

    Best book ever!

    I read this book and loved it, so i got it for my sister and she loves it. It's a 1930's modern Jane Austen novel.
