Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village by Laura Amy Schlitz

This was an interesting book that had 23 monologues and every single story intertwined with the lives of young children living around an English manor in 1255. This is an interesting way to reveal historical concepts to the readers. It creates a great learning environment and it gets the reader involved in the personal stories of each character. The book also has side notes about the Crusades and Jews during that time period.
