Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!: Voices from a Medieval Village by Laura Amy Schlitz

4.0

Great little book about medieval life, very realistic and historically accurate. A surprise winner of the Newbery Award; it's short and very heavily illustrated with pseudo-illluminated manuscript pictures. What's really cool is that it's a series of monologues or two-person scenes, and it was created for teachers to use with classrooms. I love that! Plus the scenes are often funny. And gritty--no covering up the hard cold facts of life for those who lived back in those times.
