Good Masters Sweet Ladies!
2007
Short tales of maids, monks, and other young people that belong to the medieval times. Good Masters Sweet Ladies is a collection of short stories about children, and are cleverly linked. There is the lord’s nephew, forced to prove himself by hunting a wild boar; Nelly, a girl who supports her family by selling living eels; Mogg, the peasant’s daughter who discovers how to hide a good cow from a greedy landlord. These are only a few of the delightful and real characters that are introduced in this short collection of portraits, and are written with lyrical text audiences will want to hear out loud. They are filled with beautiful images that aid the witty stories, and with great historical links, readers will learn things of history without ever knowing it.

-I’m torn on whether I like this one or not. I do like it, but the fact none of the stories have conclusions is disappointing, though also serves a purpose.
-Easily read in an hour, fast and interesting with some good points about history.
