Description: They set off on an April morning with the rain dripping from the branches. Priests, nuns, tradesmen, men from the city -- all pilgrims on the road to Canterbury. To pass the tong journey they told each other stories of magic and trickery, of animals with blazing eyes, of people with pants on fire, of Lave and death and the devil. Geraldine McCaughrean retells The Canterbury Tales for children in a lively and humorous style that captures the original flair of Chaucer himself. The stories and characters are brought to life by the brush of Victor Ambrus, with pictures of wild chases, exciting battles, and the English countryside.
