I capture the castle. A romantic comedy [in two acts] ... Adapted from her novel, etc. [With musical notes.]

The glorious return of one of the 20th century's best-loved novels! Brightly clever and adventuresome, 17-year-old Cassandra Mortmain shares her captivating journal, a chronicle of her first love and of her extraordinary life with her odd family. They live in not-so-genteel poverty in the crumbling ruin of an old English castle. This book is that rare gem of a literate modern classic that marvelously blends humor, candid introspection, romance, poignancy, and all the complicated turns of eccentric family relationships. By the end of the story, Cassandra has not only captured the castle, but has thoroughly captured the hearts of her listeners.

  • "Seventeen-year-old Cassandra Mortmain wants to become a writer. Trouble is, she's the daughter of a once-famous author with a severe case of writer's block. Her family--beautiful sister Rose, brooding father James, ethereal stepmother Topaz--is barely scraping by in a crumbling English castle they leased when times were good. Now there's very little furniture, hardly any food, and just a few pages of notebook paper left to write on. Bravely making the best of things, Cassandra gets hold of a journal and begins her literary apprenticeship by refusing to face the facts. Rose longs for suitors and new tea dresses while Cassandra scorns romance. But romantic isolation comes to an end both for the family and for Cassandra's heart when the wealthy, adventurous Cotton family takes over the nearby estate."
