Dear Dodie Résumé

Dear Dodie: The Life of Dodie Smith Valerie Grove

Frank and funny, unorthodox, liberated and quintessentially English, Dodie Smith, playwright and novelist, was the author of those immortal classics, The Hundred and One Dalmations and I Capture the Castle. One of the most successful dramatists of her generation, she spent the war years in America, befriended Christopher Isherwood and, through Walt Disney's film, became a household name.

Dear Dodie Avis

I have nothing but praise for this engrossing book, which on the one hand recreates a recent, but forgotten theatrical age, and on the other should introduce Dodie to a host of new readers. * Literary Review *
Beautifully written, warm and lively, with enough detachment for us to see Dodie for ourselves-Full of life and zip. * Joanna Trollope *
Valerie Grove's vivid biography is a brilliant feat of retrieval - nobody will be glad to finish this book. * Sunday Times *
Valerie Grove writes about Dodie with wit and discernment. This is a hugely enjoyable book. * Mail on Sunday *
A successful portrait of a powerful and original woman of devastating wit and intelligence. * Independent on Sunday *
