The Canterbury Tales
NEW Geoffrey Chaucer
Adapted by Robert Hill
Human interest
In Chaucer’s classic, much-loved collection of tales a host of medieval characters come alive on the page – and they are as lively and colourful now as they were seven hundred years ago! In this retelling of five of the stories in modern English, Chaucer’s pilgrims entertain us with tales of knights and ruffians, desperate lovers, resourceful women, talking animals… and more.
