SynopsisOne spring day, 30 pilgrims set off from an inn in Southwark for a shrine in Canterbury. The inn keeper offers a free dinner, on their return, to the person who can tell the best story. So begins an assortment of tales from such varied characters as the Knight, the Wife of Bath and the Miller.
It is one of the great literary works ever written.
Geoffrey Chaucer is the "Father of English Poetry".
The Neville Coghill translation is the very best!
