I Capture the Castle was written by Dodie Smith in 1949. It sold over a million copies. It is a poignant, warm novel about an impovrished 1930’s family living in a crumbling old castle. Dodie Smith has written numerous other novels such as “The Hundred and One Dalmations“.
Its a really good book. A blisteringly funny story of riches, boys and bullies, liberally sprinkled with fabulous accessories. If you loved Electra, I hope you’ll take Daisy to your heart too.
Once upon a time there lived a man called Mr Magic Bone. He lived in a big house at the top of the hill but Mr Flex lived at the foot of the hill. They both wanted to marry the beautiful, beautiful girl who was called Miss Sun who lived on the other side of the hill, but Miss Sun had never laughed in her whole life.
Mr Magic Bone was dressed up in his best evening suit because he thought he would make her laugh. He brought his powerful conjuring trick and knocked on Miss Sun’s door. Miss Sun opened the door. “Hello” said Miss Sun, what are you doing here? I have come to make you laugh. Well said Miss Sun I have got to see this. Mr Magic Bone turned himself into a cat that spat a bat, that flapped a pig, that honcked and a rabbit that did nothing. Then he turned summersaults and did cart wheels on the ceiling. Mr Flex said “I can do better than that”. He went to Ben the bear and said “can I borrow your evening suit?” Sorry said Ben but my evening suit is at the cleaners at the moment, but you can borrow my jogging suit. Then he went to Leo the Lion. He said “can I borrow your tophat?”. Sorry said Leo but my tophat is hanging up on the washing line, but you can borrow my sun hat.
Then he went to Ed the Emu and he said “can I borrow your red shiny shoes?”. Sorry said Ed but my red shiny shoes got muddy, but you can borrow my other ones. Then he went to Coco the cat and said “can I borrow your tie?”. Sorry said Coco but my tie got lost, but you can borrow my other one. Then he knocked on Miss Sun’s door and said good evening. Miss Sun said that is the most funnyist suit I have ever seen. And Miss Sun laughed until the tears ran down her face. Even Mr Magic Bone laughed.
So Miss Sun and Mr Flex got married and everyone lived happly ever after.
