Caversham Critics Picnic:I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith

Whether permitting! We will be meeting in Forbury Gardens for our annual picnic. Bring some food to share and a drink of your choice. Note the earlier start time too!

I Capture the Castle tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra and her family, who live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Here she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She fills three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the castle's walls, and her own first descent into love.
