This book is a collection of monologues, that were created by Schlitz to help out her students that were looking for a way to present what they have learned. It is chalk full with history from the middle ages. The monologues are set in a manor community, and tell of the lives of some of its inhabitants. You will find monologues about a beaggar, and up to the lord's nephew. The best part of these stories are the author's ability to inteconnect the stories. The illustrator also did a fabulous job at getting the readers attention with the detailed illustrations. This book would best be enjoyed by the students in middle school and up. Schlitz did such a wonderful job at adding the history of the time, that these fictional monologues could find themselves at home in a history class. They would also make a great additon to any theater or drama class.
