The medieval times were difficult for all those who were forced to live in poverty and filth. These were just a few of the difficulties the people had to encounter on a daily basis. Many survived by being dishonest and cheating others out of what rightfully belonged to them.
Schlitz's style of presenting the information first as a poem and then summarizes all the information a few pages later is a different way of structuring a story. The little side notes included on the pages help to explain some of the vocabulary that was used during that time period. This material could be used with older children to introduce poetry and figurative language. This book received the Newbery Medal and here is the link to the book trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6rVF_J6pyw
