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.
