Schlitz,
L. A. (2007). Good Masters, Sweet Ladies! Boston, MA:
Candlewick Press.
This
book is composed of miniature plays and monologues. It highlights the medieval
times in England in 1255. It started with Hugo, the lord’s nephew, who was forced to prove to
his uncle that he could hunt a wild boar. He felt very unsure but ended up
killing the boar and almost wanted to cry because he was under his uncle’s pressure. Taggot, blacksmith’s daughter, is self-conscious about her
appearance and how tall she is because of her family inherit trait. Many other
stories are highlight in this book. It is an excellent way to take students
into an era that they cannot relate because of the times now a days.
The
structure of the book is fluent and easy to read. The author uses monologues
and poems to explain the medieval times. Each and every part was carefully
developed using realistic elements to understand the historical facts. The text
and illustrations truly portray the daily life of the people from a medieval
village in England in 1255.
