Description

The Canterbury Tales is a collection of 24 stories written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387 and 1400.

In 1386, Chaucer became Controller of Customs and Justice of Peace and, in 1389, Clerk of the King's work.

It was during these years that Chaucer began working on his most famous text, The Canterbury Tales.

The tales (mostly written in verse, although some are in prose) are presented as part of a story-telling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together from London to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral.

The prize for this contest is a free meal at the Tabard Inn at Southwark on their return. (Wikipedia)
