5/21/2023 0 Comments The Good Master by Kate Seredy![]() Jansci’s father is a successful farmer known far and wide as “The Good Master” for his gentle but firm way with animals and children. The Good Master tells a simple story of Hungarian farm life in the early twentieth century. These books are living history at its best! They’re a window that gives a glimpse into the early twentieth century your family will never forget. Best of all, these books tell an engaging story: a story about two cousins and a farm and a war and a lost way of life. Both books were Newberry Honor books and much lauded. My favorite books by Seredy are the The Good Master and its sequel. She wrote prolifically and was also a talented artist who illustrated her own books. Hungarian born Kate Seredy was a brilliant children’s author who lived from 1899-1975. ![]() Although only time will tell what books of the last century last through the centuries as true classics, I’ll venture to predict Kate Seredy’s The Good Master and The Singing Tree will be on that short list. ![]()
