Title: Look Back With Love. No.16
Description: Slightly Foxed Ltd. 2011. Linnen band. Pp: 272. Dodie Smith`s biographer Valerie Grove describes Look Back with Love as - one of the happiest and funniest accounts of an Edwardian upbringing`.nAnd indeed it is. Best known for her first novel I Capture the Castle, for the evergreen The Hundred and One Dalmatians, and for Dear Octopus, her 1938 play set at a family reunion, Dodie did not publish this account of her early life until 1974 when she was 78.nBrought up among her mother`s family since her father had died when she was a baby, Dodie spent her childhood surrounded by doting adults. It was the jolliest environment imaginable "“ the Furbers adored seaside trips, motor-car outings, fairgrounds, circuses, jokes, charades and musical soirées. Above all they loved the theatre, and it was through her bachelor uncles` involvement in amateur dramatics that she conceived her passion for the stage. ISBN: 9781906562304.
