Description

Geoffrey Chaucer's fourteenth-century masterpiece The Canterbury Tales is such a rollicking good read that you'll forget many critics and scholars also regard it as one of the most important literary works in English.

A group of pilgrims are traveling together to visit a holy shrine at the Canterbury Cathedral.

Along the way, they decide to hold a storytelling contest to pass the time, with the winner to be awarded a lavish feast on the return trip.

The tales offered up in turn by each of the travelers run the full gamut of human emotion, ranging from raucous and ribald jokes to heartrending tales of doomed romance.

Even if you don't consider yourself a fan of classic literature, The Canterbury Tales is worth a read.
