DescriptionTravel back to Medieval England and join Chaucer and his band of Canterbury pilgrims in this wonderful introduction to one of Britain's greatest literary legacies. These nine well-loved tales, from a host of colourful characters - the Knight, the Miller, the Reeve, the Wife of Bath, the Summoner, the Clerk, the Franklin, the Pardoner and the Nun's Priest - are brought to life with Marcia Williams' trademark witty, comic-strip art, allowing this classic text to be enjoyed by all ages. ReviewsMarcia Williams presents these tales in such a way to entice, making it readable for the young. The wonderful illustrations also help in bringing these humorous stories to life. Highly recommended for a fun introduction to these classic tales. Alicia, The Book Grocer
