Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales in Bite Size Verse

Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales in Bite Size Verse 

For all its great reputation and the affection in which it is held, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, written as it is in Middle English, can actually be a daunting prospect to read.

Now, following the success of his Easy Reading Shakespeare: The Bard in Bite-Size Verse, Richard Cuddington steps in with a novel approach to Chaucer's famous gallery of pilgrims with their tales of chivalry, romance, courtly love, treachery, avarice, bawdiness, humour and nobility.

Whether you're new to the tales, or perhaps a teacher looking to enthuse and stimulate your students, or simply thinking of re-reading them, you will find here a thoroughly entertaining and immediately accessible way in to the storytelling genius of Chaucer in simple and amusing rhyming verse:

'While other folk were hard at work
Reciting prayers and psalms,
These three lads were hard at work
A-bending their right arms.

It was the tavern where they prayed
A worship of a sort,
For here they gulped down pints of beer
And sack and wine and port.'
