Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village

Schlitz, L.  (2007).  Good masters!  sweet ladies! Voices from a medieval village.  Cambridge, MA:  Candlewick Press.

Good Masters!  Good Ladies!  was written by a librarian in a form of a monologue so that she could get her students interested in history.  We see the stories in the point of view of several people living during medieval times.  We find out some of their customs and rules while living in this time period.  The reader also learns something about the feudal system and how non-land owners had to grow crops and pay a Lord his chair.  Sometimes they were left without anything.
