Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm The Bandersnatch and I have no idea what I'm doing.
As you should know Tuesdays is book blog day were we talk about one particular book and pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on the book of the Hundred and One Dalmatians by author and playwright Dodie Smith.
Pongo and Missis had a lovely life. With their human owners, The Dearlys, to look after them, they lived in a comfortable home in London with their 15 adorable Dalmation Puppies, Loved and admired by all. Especially the Dearlys' neighbour Cruella De Vil, a fur-fancying fashion plate with designs on the Dalmatians' spotted coats!. So, when the puppies are stolen from the Dearly home, and even Scotland Yard is unable to find them, Pongo and Missis know they must take matters into their own paws!.

I've regularly read The Hundred and One Dalmations ever since I was in year four of Primary school. I'm a very big lover/advocate of dogs and as a big reader it always hit the combined spot well. I've also seen the 1961 Disney adaptation as well as the 1996 and 2000 live action adaptions and I love their adaptions of the book well. I give the book a 8/10 and highly recommend the book to kids who love reading.
The Hundred and One Dalmations is a children's novel written by author and playwright Dodie Smith about the kidnapping of a family of Dalmation puppies. It was originally serialised as The Great Dog Robbery in the popular magazine Woman's Day, it followed the tale of Pongo and Missis as they rescued their puppies from a fur farm. Smith went onto have the book published in full by Heinemann in 1956, The book became popular and gained several positive reviews from critics. A Sequel named The Starlight Barking followed continuing the story when it was published in 1967.
Dodie smith was born on may 3rd 1896 to parents Ernest and Ella Smith (Nee Fubar) in a house named Stoneycroft (number 118) in Whitefield near Bury in Lancashire, England. Smith was their only child and two years later Ernest passed away, prompting Smith and her mother to move in with her Fubar Grandparents, two aunts and three uncles in Old Trafford, in which the old building faced the Manchester ship canal. Smiths mother remarried in 1910 and moved them to London with her new husband. Smith ended up going to RADA in 1914 prompting a long connection to the theatre and playwriting. In her autobiography Look Back with Love (1974), Smith credits her grandfather William Fubar as one of the reasons she became a playwright. Smith lived for many years in Dorset Square, Marylebone, London where a blue plaque commemorates her occupation. Smith died in 1990 three years after her partner Alec Macbeth Beesley who'd she'd been with since 1939 in Uttlesford, North Essex, England. She was cremated, her ashes scattered in to the winds.
