About this ebook
All the stories summarized in this e-book come from the “The Canterbury Tales” of Geoffrey Chaucer. Included are “The Pardoner’s Tale,” “The Knight’s Tale,” “The Nun’s Priest’s Tale,” “The Friar’s Tale,” “The Physician’s Tale,” “The Lawyer’s Tale,” and “The Squire’s Tale.” Three of my seven reviews are based on Chaucer’s original Middle English text, which is presented in Peter Beidler’s edition of “The Canterbury Tales.” For those who do not read Middle English, Peter Beidler presents a modern English translation.
The other four tales that I reviewed were not included in Peter Beidler’s edition. My reviews of these tales are based on modern English translations that I found on the Internet.
To make this work suitable for people of all ages, I omitted “The Miller’s Tale,” “The Reeve’s Tale,” and similar stories.
