About the Author

Dodie Smith

Dodie Smith was a children’s novelist and playwright. Born in 1896 in Whitefield, Lancashire, in 1910 she moved to London, where she attended the Academy of Dramatic Art. She pursued a career in acting alongside working at Heal and Son’s furniture store, where she met her future husband, Alec Beasley. She wrote her first play, Autumn Crocus, in 1931, and its success led to further works, including Call it a Day (1936) and Dear Octopus (1938). Smith and her husband moved to the United States in the 1940s, where her homesickness for Britain inspired her first novel, I Capture the Castle (1948). She continued to author plays and novels, but she is perhaps best known for The Hundred and One Dalmatians (1956; Folio Society 2017), which was adapted by Disney in 1961. Smith died in 1990.
