À propos de cet audio

An abridged audiobook of the historical fiction classic, 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, tells in diary form the story of her fourteenth year—the year 1290.

This story is excellent for kids aged 10 plus, and adults. The Lady Birdy is a determined and bright hero.
Narrator could not have been better. Perfection.

Delightful fun
