"[Chaucer] is not only the father of all our poets, but the grandfather of all our hundred million novelists." -G.K. Chesterton

Look Inside the Book

"Spring has arrived, prompting folks from all stations of medieval life to pilgrimage together to the shrine of Thomas Becket. Because long trips tend to be rather dull, the travelers begin a storytelling competition featuring roosters, murders, bewitched hags, banished wives in barrels, plenty of adulterers, a whole host of churchmen, and a frying pan whisked to hell." ~From Elizabeth Howard's Introduction

In the middle ages, hundreds of pilgrims would flock to the shrine of Thomas Beckett to pay their respects and get a few years off of purgatory—or perhaps to simply enjoy themselves. The poet Geoffrey Chaucer writes about both the pious and the irreverent and roguish. His company of priests, tradesmen, nuns, monks, scholars, and knights that tell stories on the way to Canterbury is full of drama, farce, shrewd cynicism, and that highly inappropriate sense of humor for which the English are so well known.

This Canon Classic contains all twenty-four extant Canterbury Tales carefully and modernized by J.U. Nicolson. The Canon Classics series presents the most definitive works of Western literature in a colorful, well-crafted, and affordable way. Unlike many other thrift editions, our classics feature individualized designs that prioritize readability by means of proper margins, leading, characters per line, font, trim size, etc. Each book’s materials and layout combine to make the classics a simple and striking addition to classrooms and homes, ideal for introducing the best of literary culture and human experience to the next generation.

This Worldview Edition features an introduction divided into sections on The World Around, About the Author, What Other Notables Said, Setting, Characters, & Plot Summary, Worldview Analysis, and 21 Discussion Questions & Answers.

love this bag so much!
Color: White, Color: White
this bag is awesome. i didn’t realize how similar it looked to the brooklyn coach bags! it’s good quality and holds a LOT. also super cute. the material is nice and you can wear it anywhere, dressed down or up. it’s nice and smooth! and the zipper feels pretty secure. i’ve had this bag for a couple months now and it’s still holding up great 🤍 i’ll have to buy more colors i can fit a full size round hair brush, a bag of all my makeup, my wallet, 3 pairs of keys, a full size stick deodorant, a full size spray deodorant, tons of lip products, gum, oil blotting papers… i mean it’s roomy. and i bring basically everything with me at all times, so if i approve then im sure you guys will too, lol

Very Nice Purse
Color: Black
I love the look, soft leather and good quality. Although the size indicates small, I would say it is medium size.

Perfect size for me!
Color: Black
I've had this bag for several months! It's in GREAT condition for the price that I got it for! I've had one maybe a couple stitches on the handle fray a little bit, but other than that it's holding up amazingly! Surprisingly it holds a lot, wallet, keys, small makeup bag, and a smaller bag for hair ties, pins, tampons and whatnot. It's very soft, the color doesn't fade! The material isn't hard leather, it's very maluable, making it fit wherever you put it, which is exactly what I was looking for. When this one eventually wears out, I'll 100% buy another one again because it's small and it matches every single one of my outfits!
