Schlitz, L. A., (2007). Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!: Voices from a medieval village. Cambridge, Mass.: Candlewick Press.
The book Good masters! Sweet Ladies! by Amy Schlitz brings an uncommon look on medieval times and the potential characters that could have lived in villages during these times. There are seventeen characters in Schlitz’s book in monologues which creates a theater like setting. Each character has a monologue in a poetic style which also incorporates music. Students who read this book would enjoy this read more if they were able to play the role of one of the characters or change it into a drama. Although some students may have trouble expressing themselves to the plot of the stories if they do not have some background of the Middle Ages. The reader reads about the seventeen characters and their everyday lives, jobs, struggles, and lifestyles. This book’s best potential is to be interactive like acting it out or reading it aloud because at first glance it may not be an enticing book to students.
