Summary
Summary
Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales tells of a group of pilgrims from all layers of society who pass the time during their journey to Canterbury by telling stories to one another. Naxos AudioBooks’ third volume presents six of these tales, here in an unabridged modern verse translation by Frank Ernest Hill. This is an ideal way to appreciate the genuinely funny and droll talent of England’s early master storyteller. Seven leading British actors bring the medieval world into the twenty-first century.

Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343–1400), English poet, was the son of a London vintner. He was married and held a number of positions at court and in the king’s service, including diplomat, controller of customs in the port of London, and deputy forester in the King’s Forest in Somerset. He was buried in the Poets’ Corner of Westminster Abbey where a monument was erected to him in 1555.
