  “Crocus,” and “Dear Octopus,” among other plays, but her first novel, I Capture the Castle (little Brown, 1948) was written when she lived in America during the ‘40’s and marked her crossover debut from playwright to novelist. The novel became an immediate success and was produced as a play in 1954. Her other novels were The Town in Bloom, It Ends With Revelations, A Tale of Two Families, and The Girl in the CandleLit Bath. Today however, she is best known for her stories for young readers, The Hundred and One Dalmatians heine mann 1956) and The Starlight Barking heine mann 1967; Simon and Schuster, 1968). The Hundred and One Dalmatians was inspired by Dodie’s own Dalmatian named Pongo, and became the basis of two Disney films. The Starlight Barking is also available in paperback from St. Martin’s Press.

  Dodie Smith died in 1990.
