Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Read the book behind Lena Dunham's acclaimed new movie! This historical fiction classic, told in the form of a diary, has drawn in generations of readers and is a Newbery Honor Book. Catherine feels trapped. Her father is determined to marry her off to a rich man--any rich man, no matter how awful.But by wit, trickery, and luck, Catherine manages to send several would-be husbands packing. Then a shaggy-bearded suitor from the north comes to call--by far the oldest, ugliest, most revolting suitor of them all. Unfortunately, he is also the richest.Can a sharp-tongued, high-spirited, clever young maiden with a mind of her own actually lose the battle against an ill-mannered, piglike lord and an unimaginative, greedy toad of a father? Deus! Not if Catherine has anything to say about it!Catherine, a spirited and inquisitive young woman, narrates in diary form the story of her fourteenth year--the year 1290.In an appreciation in the New York Times, illustrator Vera Brosgol spoke for many fans of this beloved book: "I fell hard for Karen Cushman's Catherine, Called Birdy the second I opened it. More than any other heroine I'd read, this one sounded like me. For Catherine, and for me, there is no easy solution to the cages life makes for you. Sometimes the power is in deciding to be yourself in whatever cage you're in." With wit and determination, thirteen-year-old Catherine chronicles her sometimes outrageous strategies to thwart her father's plans to marry her off and finds "a way to make her voice heard among all of these forces that want to shut it down" in medieval England. The beloved Newbery Honor Book's 25th Anniversary! (Bustle) New introduction by Linda Sue Park. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
