Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!
Schlitz, L. A. (2007). Good masters, sweet ladies. Boston, MA: Candlewick Press.
Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Is set is an English Manor in 1255. This story is told in the first person narrative in monologues and dialogues. There are 23 individuals with different personalities who give insight to what it was like in this period. We have monks, maidens, runaways, beggars, plowboys and the list goes on. Two of my favorite characters are Will, the plowboy and Nelly, the sniggler. I admire Will’s love of family and his respect for his father even after death. Also, Nelly, she is a firecracker and a tomboy who is always into something. Even though this was long ago, these accounts can all be relevant in some way in today’s time.
I see how Good Master! Sweet Ladies! could be transformed into a play or even a movie. It has all the factors; drama, youth, voice, history……… I would recommend this book to 10 year old and up. It is a good read.
