Full description for I Capture the Castle

  • Cassandra Mortmain lives in a dilapidated castle with her eccentric family. Her life changes forever when two American boys arrive and rock the small community to its core. Touching and funny, sad and profound, Dodie Smith's much-loved story is read excellently by Emilia Fox and is a hit with adults and young people alike. With great wit and sensitivity, Cassandra introduces a listener to her extraordinary family: her eccentric father, suffering from writer's block; her clever younger brother, Tom; her beautiful and bored sister Rose (who wholly aspires to marrying a rich man); her exotic stepmother Topaz, who is an artist's model, and Stephen, who is employed by her father and hopelessly in love with Cassandra. When the American's arrive, the delicate balance is upset, and upheaval affects all of the characters. The results are marvelously funny and profoundly moving.
