One of my childhood favourites! I couldn't even begin to count how many times I reread this book when I was younger. A great introduction for children to everyday life in medieval England. Catherine is also an excellent role model for young girls, as she is determined and speaks her mind despite consequences for doing so (women did not tend to have their own opinions during this time). It is also very funny, and girls especially will find it easy to relate to Catherine.
