Cruella De Vil, the wicked woman who steals a litter of Dalmations puppies so that she can make herself a very special fur coat is one of the most feared villains of children’s fiction. The One Hundred and One Dalmations is a thrilling adventure with a most important mission at its heart. Pongo and Missus’s frantic pursuit of Cruella De Vil and the crooks who help her is a matter of life and death. Excellently filmed, the original story as told here remains a brilliant read.

THE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS
When dastardly Cruella De Vil steals a whole litter of Dalmatian puppies to make a new fur coat, the puppies' parents, Pongo and Missus, lose no time in mounting a daring rescue mission. Will they be in time to thwart Cruella's evil scheme, or have they bitten off more than they can chew?
THE STARLIGHT BARKING
There's a Dalmatian in Number 10 Downing Street. But when strange things start happening, Pongo and his family are in a race against time to save London … and the world.
'As comforting as hot buttered toast' - Guardian
Dodie Smith was born in Manchester in 1896. Aged 17 she set off for London, determined to become an actress, but she struggled to find work, living off baked beans in freezing hostels. While working at the famous Heals department store, Dodie turned to writing plays instead, and her first was an overnight sensation - the newspapers excitedly declared 'Shopgirl Turns Playwright!'. During the war she moved to Hollywood with her husband, and it was there, spurned on by regret and homesickness for the English countryside she'd left behind, that Dodie began writing I Capture the Castle. When a friend gave Dodie a dalmatian puppy (presented in a hat box!) this began a life-long love of the spotty dogs. Dodie's well-loved novel 101 Dalmatians was inspired by her experiences of raising fifteen puppies. She lived in a ramshackle cottage with her husband and many other animals until her death in 1990, aged 94.
