Sweet Ladies!: Voices from a Medieval Village","description":"\u003cb\u003eNewbery Medal Winner  Step back to an English village in 1255, where life plays out in dramatic vignettes illuminating twenty-two unforgettable characters.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaidens, monks, and millers' sons -- in these pages, readers will meet them all. There's Hugo, the lord's nephew, forced to prove his manhood by hunting a wild boar; sharp-tongued Nelly, who supports her family by selling live eels; and the peasant's daughter, Mogg, who gets a clever lesson in how to save a cow from a greedy landlord. There's also mud-slinging Barbary (and her noble victim); Jack, the compassionate half-wit; Alice, the singing shepherdess; and many more. With a deep appreciation for the period and a grand affection for both characters and audience, Laura Amy Schlitz creates twenty-two riveting portraits and linguistic gems equally suited to silent reading or performance. Illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings by Robert Byrd -- inspired by the Munich-Nuremberg manuscript, an illuminated poem from thirteenth-century Germany -- this witty, historically accurate, and utterly human collection forms an exquisite bridge to the people and places of medieval England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Schlitz, Laura Amy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763650940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.32w x 0.33d","brand":"Laura Amy Schlitz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39794859540555,"sku":"9780763650940","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_6e683df7-5da4-4b33-a55d-9f14c2bd7e7b.jpg?v=1656447592","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/good-masters-sweet-ladies-voices-from-a-medieval-village-9780763650940","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
