    "Crude Rednecks in a Medieval Village" is another good title for this book
  

*by B***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 7, 2012*

I bought this book to add to a literature-based Christian homeschool curriculum for my 9 yr old daughter. Do not follow my example. This book is indeed a portrait of 23 characters from a medieval village. I'm sure it's swooningly brilliant like many of the reviewers believe it is, but I didn't get far enough into it to know that much.What I did get far enough into it to know is that the text format that looks like poetry isn't poetry. But it isn't good prose either. The writer uses this language that is stilted; half-formed thoughts interrupted by the inarticulate drama of teenage desire.To demonstrate, I provide a quote from the second chapter, 'Taggot: the Blacksmith's Daughter': "There's no one for me, and I know why. I'm too big. Father says his father was a giant of a man- somehow his size came down to me. There's something else. I've stared into the Round Pool, and it's hard to tell- the water's never still- but I think I'm ugly. Big and ugly and shy in the bargain. Mother says I'll likely not marry at all. "Its' a world of trouble you'll save yourself," says Mother, "childbearing and child dying." And no doubt she's right. I always weep when the hogs are slaughtered. I'm not strong enough to bear and lose."I'll confess, this excerpt makes me weep a little too. Just so you know, following this, Taggot then immediately meets a gory pig-hunting young man, and syrupy infatuation ensues.So that's the second reason to avoid "Good Masters!" You just read it. My 9-yr-old daughter and I aren't interested in hearing about cynical, anachronistic expressions on child-rearing; nor about petty teenaged considerations of physical attractiveness. (I cannot really describe the male counterpart to this- episode of the boar hunt- but it it nothing so much as a medieval version of two camoflauged Deep South illiterates cajoling each other into acts of brutishness. (I'm from the Deep South myself; I know whereof I speak.))Third reason to avoid it is very similar to #2. The content of this book is for 14 yr old girls who watch MTV; the writing style and book layout is for 3rd and 4th graders. I would suggest getting for younger children a picture book or a chapter book about medieval days with content fitted for pre-puberty children OR for the teenagers, get a medieval historical fiction novel, like 'Adam of the Road' or 'Trumpeter of Krakow' or something like that.

    Great for school plays
  

*by M***5 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 25, 2022*

The author is a school librarian who wrote this book with several soliloquies and a few dialogues so each student can shine in a medieval play. Very clever and entertaining.

    Blend of good literature and history.
  

*by L***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2021*

This was a mostly enjoyable book. There were a few places where it was based on incorrecthistory, for example, the numerous holy days/ holidays people enjoyed at this ageregardless of their rank in society. I especially liked the mix of different presentationsfor the many characters. Very creatively done!
