Voices from a Medieval Village","description":"\u003cb\u003eStep back to an English village in 1255, where life plays out in dramatic vignettes illuminating twenty-two unforgettable characters.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Maidens, 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.","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48297554542847,"sku":"*R0062227*","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/24000283482459.jpg?v=1773751154","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/good-masters-sweet-ladies-voices-from-a-medieval-village-1","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
