The Good Master By Kate Seredy Teacher’s Guide Story Synopsis The story of The Good Master is about the Nagy family who lives in Hungary around the time of the early 1900’s. Then, the rest of the book is just happy tales of what happens on a farm in Hungary. But all of this is rushed through in the first two chapters. As she spends time with them, she begins to behave better and love the rural life. So she comes to spend time with her uncle (the good master of the title), aunt and cousin. The plot described on the blurb says the book is about a rambunctious hellion of a girl being sent from her father in 'the city' to spend some time with her relatives in 'the country' because he can't handle her naughtiness anymore.

Set in Hungary, this 1935 Newbery Honor book is one of those 'learn about life in a different culture' candidates that were so popular with the Newberys for a good many years.
