Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!

So, I went a little out of order but, I just finished this book. This was a fairly quick read. It's a collection of monologues written in medieval era language. It is written for students to perform or recite. I loved the flow and rhythm of the words in these stories. They remind me of Shakespeare. Fantastic for a unit on Medieval times. These humorous stories connect to each other because each is about the life of a child during this time.

Unique and charming book! Loved it!
