Críticas:

"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." (Antonia Fraser 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." (John Carey Sunday Times)

"Valerie Grove writes about Dodie with wit and discernment. This is a hugely enjoyable book." (John Mortimer Mail on Sunday)

"A successful portrait of a powerful and original woman of devastating wit and intelligence." (Elspeth Barker Independent on Sunday)

Reseña del editor:

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.
