Good Masters! Sweet ladies!
Voices from a Medieval Village.
Winner of the 2008 Newberry Award for outstanding excellence in Children's books.
Laura Amy Schlitz wrote these 22 brief monologues to be performed by students at the school where she is a librarian; here, bolstered by lively asides and unobtrusive notes, and illuminated by Robert Byrd's stunningly atmospheric watercolors, they bring to life a prototypical English village in 1255. Byrd's watercolor-and-ink pictures add lovely texture and evoke medieval illustration. Read the reviews and view the book.
