Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Book review
Click here to purchase Good Masters Sweet Ladies by Laura Amy Schlit
The 2008 Newberry Award Winner is Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!, is by Laura Amy Schlitz. The book is subtitled Voices from a Medieval Village, and contains points of view from the blacksmith's daughter, the tanner's son, the falconer's son, the glassblower's daughters, among many others. I didn't like it at all at first, but by the time I got to the story about a shepherdess singing to a grieving ewe, I was enjoying it. The illustrations by Robert Byrd were excellent.
