REREAD: Catherine, Named Birdy
Sep. 6th, 2022 08:06 pmCatherine, Called Birdy: Karen Cushman (Macmillan Children’s Books, 1996)
I recently saw a trailer for a film (or it could be a TV series) called ‘Catherine, Called Birdy’ written and directed by Lena Dunham, which reminded me I owned and had read this book from which it’s adapted. The trailer made me laugh and promisingly suggested that the adaptation catches the spirit and the humour of the book. I don’t know if I’ll be able to see it as it’s an Amazon production, but I could and did reread the book.
( It's the funny, sometimes poignant diary of a spirited young noble lady in medieval England )
