	Amazon.de: KATE SEREDY GOOD MASTER KGT: English Books (Site not responding. Last check: 0000-00-00)
		Kate Seredy's work is nowhere near as popular with children as are the works of Blume, Cleary, Dahl, and Wilder.
		Jansci and Cousin Kate from Budapest deserve to be considered along with Peter and Fudge, Henry, Ramona, and Ribsy, Charlie and Willy Wonka, and the Ingalls family as among the greatest characters in children's fiction.
		Kate seems bad at first-taking over their wagon and running away with it, splitting her skirts, climbing the rafters for sausage, and racing her boy cousin.

	The Good Master - BookAngles
		Summary: Kate Seredy draws from her Hungarian upbringing in this story of Jancsi and his spirited cousin Kate, who comes from the city of Budapest to spend the summer with Jancsi's family in the country.
		Kate catches the gypsies stealing a pig and chickens and rather than being tied up, gagged and thrown into the hayloft, she goes with them for a brief but scary time.
		When Kate goes swimming in an unfamiliar place, and gets caught in a strong current, she is in grave danger but is rescued by Jansci.

	Book Summary: The Good Master
		She arrives with a letter from her father, who explains that Kate is more than a delicate child in need of fresh country air; in fact, she needs a strong hand to help control her incredible, disobedient, headstrong ways.
		At first, Kate and her cousin Jancsi do not get along very well, but as the story develops and Kate is in admiration of her cousin’s skill with the horses, she is won over.
		In the end, Kate’s father comes to visit and is so taken by the transformation in his daughter that he decides to stay in the country from whence he comes with his brother’s family.

		Kate Seredy was born November 10, 1899 in Budapest, Hungary to Louis Peter (a teacher) and Anna (Irany) Seredy.
		Her family collectively at one time or another decided that she should be a teacher, a nurse, a dress designer, a plain wife complete with children, a thorn-in-the-side of any government in power at any given moment, and a painter.
		Seredy attended the Academy of Arts in Budapest for six years where she received her art teacher's diploma.

	Good Master, The , , Kate Seredy
		Kate has become rude, stubborn, and willful, so her father sends her to his brother`s Hungarian farm in hopes of taming her a bit.
		That is not to say that Kate doesn`t find ways of keeping the family hopping with her unanticipated antics and responses.
		Her cousin Jancsi, in particular, seems to be brought unwittingly into her "chaos potential." Strong family values, great insights into Hungarian farm life at the turn of the century, and rich examples of longsuffering love are key reasons why this is a Newbery Honor winner.

		Both books are about children growing up in Hungary during World War I. Seredy won the Newbery Medal in 1938 for her book The White Stag (a sort of mythological story about the Magyars and the Huns), but I enjoyed the two books about Jansci and Kate surviving war times more.

		The main character, Kate, with her guts, compassion and funny bone became, along with Jo March, a personal hero and role model.
		Unfortunately Seredy's art has fallen beneath editorial radar This book should be in the personal libary of all upper elementary students who love to read and adults who remember a child's delight in discovering a great read.
		Kate grows from a sickly city girl to a strong little farmer, and she teaches Jansci to notice and appreciate aspects of his hardworking rural life that he had always taken for granted.

	The Singing Tree (Newbery Library, Puffin) (Kate Seredy)
		Kate and Jancsi are fantastic characters for children to identify with, and the adults make fine examples for them to look up to.
		But the strength of their earlier upbringing,leavened with consistant parental examples of kindness, common sense and good humor, is sufficient to see them through this time of trial.
		Kate, the delightfully irrepressible moppet who brought many smiles to many faces in "The Good Master" does not fail to deliver in this book as well.

		Because many polytheistic religions were basically national or tribal religions, one of their primary functions was to recount the birth of the community and tell of the divinely sanctioned origin of its earliest heroes or rulers.
		As Seredy tells it, the stag of the title appears at crucial points in Hungary's ancient history to lead the Huns and the Magyars on a new path.
		Seredy's proud, poetically told story (accompanied by her starkly gorgeous illustrations) has further interest because it is one of the few English-language books to show Attila the Hun as a hero rather than an adversary.

		As a small soldier in the war, Michael keeps the real truth hidden--that his father is working against the enemy--but pays for his love of the beautiful horse Midnight by losing all that he has loved.
		This is a beautifully written page turner of a novel with lovely illustrations by Seredy.
		Michael, Prince Chestry, and Nana are memorable long after the story is over, and once again Seredy glorifies the life of the "ordinary" farmer, who she considers to be the true royalty.

		Late, late in this book, Seredy uses the word "Hun," at which point (as a child of 9), I figured out that Hunor and Magor were the founders of actual tribes, including Atilla's Huns.
		Seredy's grasp of myth is readily apparent; her prose is simple enough for an eight- or nine-year-old to understand but she never talks down to the reader, since she uses the universal, spare language of the epic poet.
