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!

ACCESS: The papers are open for research. PROCESSED BY: Matthew Borrego, Provenance Restrictions Collection is non-circulating; in-house research use only. Biographical Sketch Karen Cushman was born Karen Ann Lipski in Chicago, Illinois on October 4, 1941. At a young age, and against her wishes, she moved with her family from Chicago to the Southern California town of Tarzana. Commenting about a similar reluctant cross-country transplant depicted in her novel The Ballad of Lucy Whipple , she says "I have apparently never recovered from my own move from Chicago to California when I was ten. I didn't want to see movie stars and pick oranges in my backyard. I wanted to go home." Cushman got over her homesickness quickly, however, once she found the local library, where she was an avid reader, and indulged her interests in numerous kinds of fiction and nonfiction. Her formal education was less inspiring, however; she found her Catholic schooling to be controlling, a situation mirrored by the eponymous heroine of her novel

Reviewed by Dianne Staley At fourteen, Catherine is learning to spin and sew, but she would much rather follow the goat herd. Her mother wants her to be a lady; her father wants to marry her off. Catherine dreams of being many things, such as a crusader like her Uncle George, or a minstrel or a painter or a monk like her brother Edward. It is a challenge to be a free spirit in a medieval manor, when each person's station in life is set from birth. Catherine finds the constraints of her life too binding, and she devises many ploys to win her freedom. The reader is drawn into the life of the manor and the village as she hides from her nurse and slips out to visit her friends. Catherine's hilarious efforts to foil her father's pursuit of a wealthy suitor and her adventures traveling to visit an abbey and a fair lead the reader through the year's cold winter months to the summer bounty, and into the harvest time. Through Catherine's diary the reader is treated to a view of how life was for a young woman in thirteenth century England.
