Good Masters, Sweet Ladies

Schlitz, L.A. (2007). Good masters, sweet ladies. Cambridge, MA: Candlewick Press.

Good Masters, Sweet Ladies is a collection of short plays. Each play tells the story of a person's life in the Middle Ages. Through each character, the reader learns about the many different traits that existed during this period of time. We learn of the difficulties of the poor, pilgrimages, and even the life of the wealthy. In her book, Schiltz also includes side notes to help readers better understand each play. Robert Byrd, uses ink and bright watercolors in his illustrations to enhance every story. The book includes a Table of Contents and a Bibliographical Reference.
