Summary

When a group of pilgrims bound for Canterbury Cathedral meet on the road, they agree to tell stories to pass the time. Each story reflects a different segment of society, from the pious to the bawdy, and has given countless readers a look into fourteenth century English life. The stories can be read on their own or as part of the entire work and have been translated from their original middle English by D. Lain Purves.
