The Canterbury Tales - v. 2 (Unabridged ed)

Chaucer's greatest work, written towards the end of the fourteenth century, paints a brilliant picture of medieval life, society and values.

The stories contained within this recording -- including The Clerk's Prologue and Tale, The Nun's Priest Prologue and Tale, The Prioress's Prologue and Tale, The Reeve's Prologue and Tale, The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale -- are told with freshness and vigor (in this modern verse translation by Frank Ernest Hill, 1935), that make them a delight to hear.
