The Canterbury Tales

Chaucer’s masterpiece weaves a tapestry of medieval life through the voices of pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. Each tale, from the bawdy to the pious, offers a window into 14th-century England. The vivid characters—the Wife of Bath, the Knight, the Miller—come alive through Chaucer’s wit and keen observations. It’s a journey that still resonates, making us laugh, reflect, and marvel at the timeless nature of human foibles and aspirations.
