Schlitz, L.A. (2007). Good masters! Sweet ladies Voices from a medieval village. Boston, MA: Candlewick Press.
This book portrays the lives of medieval children through short one-person plays. Stories are set in 1255 in England in a Medieval Manor. These plays also focus on the distinct lives of medieval children ages ten through fifteen and what it took to survive the Middle Ages. Already by this time people distinguished between peasants, royalty, lower class, middle class, and upper class and many of these children weren't allowed to play with each other. Lower class children or peasants could see this distinction and made the royalty children pay by throwing mud at them like Barbary did to Isobel, the Lord's daughter.
