I was mesmerized by this book. Laura Amy Schlitz is a highly gifted writer. Her use of language is so evocative and creative that I marvel she could write this whole book for a group of students whose medieval school projects were still in-process. I know myself how challenging it is to invent poems (or poetic portions within prose) that are substantive and clever. Schlitz makes it seem easy, but only a wildly inventive mind could pull it off the way she did. In addition, the book is jammed with facts about medieval English society. Schlitz's research shines through. Absorbing the facts is painless for the reader, because they're tossed smoothly, almost randomly, into the stories. I love Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!, and I wish I had written it.
I *love* this book! I rarely give 5-star reviews, but this book earned it. I read it at least once a year, usually around Christmas time. (For some reason I have always associated Christmas with Medieval history - probably because the modern ideas of the holiday first began to take shape.) The little stories range from charming to grim (it was a grim time in many ways,) with clever and even sly added to the mix. The illustrations are wonderful and reminiscent of medieval artwork. And, in the midst of all that, the story is highly, gently, and accurately educational! I really can't say enough good about this book, so I'll just shut up and get back to reading it again. Highly recommended.
I'm not a big follower of awards, but there are two literary awards that almost never disappoint--the Booker Prize and the Newbery Award. I try to make a point of reading as many of these winners as I can because they are always pleasurable and often end up being among my favorites. If Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! won't end up being among my favorite Newbery's, it is still a wonderful read.Subtitled "Voices From a Medieval Village," in this book Ms. Schlitz gives a series of poetic monologues from different characters in a medieval village, from nobility to serfs. It is well done, using various styles and personalities and often linking different stories together in subtle ways. She also includes some background information on medieval life and definitions of various terms. It should also be noted that Robert Byrd's illustrations are absolutely beautiful.If this book is missing, for me, some of the power and emotional impact of, say, Karen Cushman's books set in medieval times (and also Newbery winners), that is no fault of Ms. Schlitz. She is trying to achieve something rather different and she does that rather well. (I also have to admit being personally pickier about poetry over prose.) Still, this book is excellent and should be read, particularly with all the young readers in your house.
I normally don't like poetry, but this book is well-done. The poems and dialogues are very realistic and not at all forced. Each character in a medieval village is given a chance to present his viewpoint of life or an event in his or her life. Most cover one to two pages with sufficient illustrations. The illustrations mimic those of genuine medieval artwork, which I find make the narrations more realistic. Some characters overlap with others, while some are simply stand alone. This book would work well for younger schoolchildren who need a basic introduction to medieval life. It's not so long that it will bog them down with boredom, but it will give them just a taste to make them want more.
This is an amazing presentation. It certainly makes me wish I had a classroom of kids so that we could do this as a project. Very informative info, extremely thoughtful and thought-provoking, maybe with a tone that was a little bit "down". I bought it as a gift for my son who is a medieval history prof.
I love this book almost as much as my kids . . . maybe more! My kids (ages 6 - 9) and I have been reading it together. We are learning so much from the perspectives of children living during the middle ages. We've had to pause periodically to study out some of the traditions, superstitions, and living conditions referenced because they are just too fascinating to overlook.
This is an amazing book. I bought for my niece, but read it first. It's really sweet and touching.
Fantastic book that really touches young students
