Catherine, Called Birdy 被称作鸟人的凯瑟琳 ISBN9780064405843

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-bar far the oldest, ugliest, most revolting suitor of them all. Unfortunately, he’s 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?
